Sunday night we decide to spend less time cooking. So we only spend two hours in the kitchen preparing a roast chicken with sour cream mushroom sauce, roasted squash and wild rice.#36 Radikon Ribolla Gialla 2002 "Ribolla Gialla" $39
Perhaps a bad bottle but reminded us of a weak sherry.
#37 Meinklng Zweigelt 2006 "Zweigelt" $13
Dry Austrian red with decent structure, very nice.
#38 Laffont Madiran 2004 80% "Tannat" 20% "Cab Franc" $22
Another nice wine reminds me of a Zinfandel.
The next bottles we opened were just for fun. The first was the Wellington Victory Reserve 2001 which was an excellent bottle picked up on our first visit to Sonoma wine country. Next was a big fruity blend from Napa called The Prisoner. Too many grapes in that one to count although I'm tempted to count the charbono. Sadly we close with an sharp astringent hostile Conn Valley "Right Bank" Napa Merlot/Cab Franc blend... gack. Still plenty left in that pricey bottle if you would like a glass although I advise against it.
