Lots of great people and lots of great info. I learned a ton & got re-energized. I will for sure spend a couple extra days there next year so I can do some tastings at the local wineries!!! Can't believe I traveled all the way to Napa & only got to stop at 2 wineries while enroute to the airport (soooooo sad, haha). Anyone going to the Harvest or have you been before? I can't go this year but wanted to hear what Harvests are like?

We got to try the new wines EVO while thay were still in the fermenting stage which was kind of cool. They introduced the new "Brand" book which tells you about the wines produced under that particular label. They also introduced the new wine tasting guide that replaces the gold one. The dinner was fabulous and it was nice meeting all the staff. It has made me very motivated.

WineLikeYouMeanIt: Congratulations, Alison! Sounds like your a natural and off to a great start!
I tried th Fog Zin the other night and all I can say is, OMG. It may be my new favorite. I couldn't believe the flavor! SO GOOD!

caliwine: You go girl !!! Tilden Peak is delicious !!! I love it.
May 17, 2008
AlisonS: Oh - and the Tilden Peak Cab was a HUGE hit.

Although I realized in the middle of it that they sent me 2 cabs & didn't send the merlot that was supposed to be in the sampler. Oops! Thankfully my sponser still had notes on the cab that wasn't supposed to be there. Great crowd and decent orders. Got 2 bookings too. I'm off to the races! :-)
May 17, 2008
caliwine: Wow I got my wine today ! at 7 ish, And I tried the Fog, It reminded me of a Cab. the spicy-ness I did really like it. It kinda reminded me of Tilden Peak for some reason, But no complaints here.
May 15, 2008
AlisonS: Oh - OK. Yes, I just received my wine club.. but I get the white/white. I received the Nouveau Muse Rosato and the Somersville Cellars Chardonnay. Can't wait to give them a try - I'll let you know what I think.
May 15, 2008
caliwine: I wish my wine was here, I know it's coming soon though !!! I switched to red/red this month well actually it takes effect for June, I am really liking reds though"

I received the Sangiovese (which by the way I tried again and paired it with the pasta puttanesca recipe they sent and my opinion has grown MUCH in favor of it) and the Fog Zin, which I'm excited to try tonight. I'm anxious to hear what you all think of it. Grahm, I heard that the 05 was delicious, so I'm really interested to get your comparative opinion! less
May 15, 2008
winewithgraham: I'm SOOOO Excited for the '06 Fog Zin!!! The '05 was amazing, and I hear the 06 is even better!
May 14, 2008
AlisonS: Congrats on achieving fast start Renee! I'm going for it as well. Do you automatically have new sampler sets sent to yourself just to try them? I'm still learning how its done!

I got mine delivered yesterday afternoon and opened the Nouveau Muse Sangiovese last night. It was really good, although I was expecting something a little bit bolder in taste just based on my experience with a Sangiovese I've tasted from a winery in Temecula, CA. Has anyone else received theirs yet? If so, what did you think?

AlisonS: I was wondering if there was a WSAH group. This is great! I just started this month & am having my "launch" tasting on Friday. The Frisch Reisling is greaat. I also loved the Hannah Nicole Sauvignon Blanc!
May 13, 2008
WineLikeYouMeanIt: I loved it too! I paired it with a spicy chipoltle salsa, which was unusual but it tasted fantastic!
Anyone know when we're getting the new wines in the tasters?
May 13, 2008
TheWinePrincess: I love the Frisch Reisling! Refreshing and floral...perfect for spring sipping!

I just purchased a case because I wanted to stock up before it's gone. It's got the most velvety texture to it and very intense flavor. I've yet to have anything like it.
What do you guys think of the Riesling?

I never liked the Cabs until tastings and, What Have I been missing ? Thats what I love about this, You try before you buy. And its hard to find a equal comparison at the stores ,Cause you dont know what your getting.
