One of the best parts of
being Le Wine Buff for
Enjoy Bordeaux is that I get to try a lot of very wonderful,
high QPR wines from Bordeaux. Indeed, all
five of the Buffs have been very busy filming short tasting videos of each of
Today's Bordeaux: The Top 100 Affordable Bordeaux for 2010. Later this year we will have 100 Days of Bordeaux and debut a new tasty and affordable wine from
Bordeaux each day, all hand-picked by none other than the
Bordeaux Wine Council, itself.
During Memorial Day Weekend here in the States, I was able to taste and film
8 of these wines all in one gigantic HD-driven swoop. Clearly however, this created a major conundrum...what to do with the leftover wine?? Hmm, holiday weekend, sun and no work...DUDE we should BBQ!! And thus driven by vino need, The Lady and I set about inviting friends over and purchasing copious amounts of food with which to eat with our many bottles of opened Bordeaux.
I've been a fan of the good value found in third label wines of Wild Horse Winery & Vineyards for some time now. Their baseline Wild Horse line of wines are always a good bet for high QPR every vintage, particularly the widely available Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. I had yet to ever try their two high end labels however, so when I was invited to have dinner with their Director of Winemaking and taste through their top wines at the tasty Local Kitchen in San Francisco, I jumped on BART and headed over.
