A touch earthy at first, but the flavors build and expand, with a medley of herb and mineral joined by dry currant, cedar and spice. Very Pauillac-like in its structure, balance and restraint. Keeps getting better with every sip. Best from 2010 through 2017. 1,000 cases made. -J.L. Our Price: $66.99

Paul Hobbs Club Road Trip

WineauxU Brethren:

I have made my offical request with Paul Hobbs for our club to visit him and his winery in California. I made the request via email since it has been like trying to get into Fort Knox to reach Paul by phone.

I hope I will hear from him soon. I will keep you all posted.

One More Opening for May 1

Paul Dunne is unable to attend our evening of South American delights. It would be great to add a 12th to the apostles of wine. A dobubting Thomas perhaps?

Go forth and gather many to the table at Hanks. Let me know who will partake of the vine.

The Wine Pope

Fw: South American Night - Friday May 1

WineauxU Brethren:

The Wine Pope had a grand reception at the Vatican last night, celebrating
with Pinot Noirs. The wines were good, but we only found one that really
grabbed our senses, Craggy Range from New Zealand.

Still great fun. We are very picky these days I think. A good thing really!

Next up, South American wines and Hank Fila's home in West Chester. Malbec,
Cabernet, Carmenere, Blends. At least half will be items you can buy at
wine stores today at a reasonable price, and then there are the mucho $$$
wines. But in South American, there are some great buys for outstanding
wines. Taste and see the goodness.

Let me know if you are coming and plan to bring any wines. Please let me
know by next Friday, April 10. Chuck is talking about Don Melchor - awesome
cabs. There will be at least 3 Malbecs and Malbec blends. I have the Casa
Laposotolle 2001 and 2002 Carmenere Blends (top in our tasting last time
for South American - I saved them rather than selling on Wine Bid - just
for yo boys to enjoy for the last time.

So far I have the following attending. No need to reconfirm, only if your
plans changed:

We may get a lesson in the blog from Alan. Some of us are not up to speed
yet.

We will be running parallel with email and the blog site until we all get
the hang of it.
