Happy Mother's Day! I needed to remind my kids that it isn't "Wife's Day" it is "Mother's Day", so Dad shouldn't be doing EVERYTHING! Anyway, after I made a fruit salad and omelet for B-fast, I roasted/grilled a beer can chicken for dinner. I had to have a Pinot and grabbed this one which I picked up at the Wine House in Holliston for $18. Very tight at first - but with a little time the wine opened up nicely with great cherry flavors. I linked up the web site which gives a very thorough and interesting description of the vineyard, wine making and tasting notes. They say pomegranate and raspberry - which I get. 14.5% alcohol - but it isn't too hot for my tastes and I tend to like the sub 14% wines. All-in-all a nice wine that I would go for again, but I might be more tempted by "La Crema" which is just a bit more money. Holy shit - I almost forgot Mrs. Vino on Mother's day. What do you say, Mrs Vino, "eeheyyah - tastes more like a cab than a vino. Not as light as a Pinot. But it was good with the chicken." (nice recovery) But hey - she's got a point. I'm guessing she is picking up on the oak and alcohol, which weren't over done but impact the flavor.
