This blog contains my impressions of interesting wines. I am particularly interested in finding wines that are very good value for the money -- delicious and affordable. I will also put in the occasional review of a restaurant, a discussion of food, or a travel report. I will also occasionally comment on the appalling state of affairs in the United States. I feel really annoyed about the way Congress no longer serves the people who pay them.

Monticello Estate Grown Merlot, Corley Family Vineyard, 2003
Monticello Estate Grown Merlot, Corley Family Vineyard, 2003 is wonderful. It tasted deeply luxurious. It has that smooth velvet texture that you so often find in Merlot. There is a taste of dark black cherries with just a hint of a liquorice or aniseed taste. This wine is extremely well balanced with firm tannins. It could use a few years before drinking if you keep it well. It costs $30. Highly Recommended.
