Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Don't miss this one, folks: 1999 Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon, $14. Huge flavor with a lot of chocolate and velvety-smooth baking spice, supported by a rich foundation of round cherry and plum notes. Endless finish. Plenty of oomph to hold its own with any dinner, sweet and smooth enough to pair with dessert, without being cloying or sugary. Five stars. Quote

sexual_chocolate Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Where's the winery? Is it non-alcoholic? Quote
allthumbs Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 I don't need no daimond ring. I don't need no cadilac car. Just want to drink my ripple wine. Down in the lighting bar. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 Indeed, Iain, the venerable Fred Shed is the source, although it could probably be found elsewhere. They're also pouring it at Laslow's restaurant. Â The winery, Mr. Chocolate, is in California somewhere. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 Is it non-alcoholic? Â Why? You got X's on the back o' your hands? Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Hey cali can't grow a good cab grape, can they? Oregon grows a mean Pinot Noir though, as Washington is getting props on its Syrah. Â Oh, and T Monk rules. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 No; on the top of my car! Â Hmm ... sounds like a sXe ride! Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 Who gives a shit what anyone says about California's Cab grapes; this wine rocks it, and would be a contender at twice the price. Â Pinot Noir is yucko, and this Doctor doesn't find himself in the Syrah neighborhood too often. Quote
iain Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 hey, you posted here. hasn't MtnGoat responded to you...don't you have some homework, maybe some light reading to do? Quote
Roger Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Hey cali can't grow a good cab grape, can they? while I agree with DFA's uncharacteristically non-elitist "if it tastes good, drink it" response, I still have to ask... you're joking, right? that's kind of like saying "hey, there's really not much to climb in the north cascades, is there...?" Quote
Greg_W Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 I've never been impressed with wines from California. Go South American. Good cabernets from Chile that have more body, in my opinion. Not much of a white wine drinker, but the Riesling from Columbia Winery is nice (Chateau St. Michelle's is nice, too) as well as the Chardonnay from Columbia Crest (good for warm weather). Quote
allthumbs Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Hey, everybody meet me at my place...DFA, you bring the wine. Â Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 Eh? Is Dr. Flash Amazing not a bullhorn for the vox populi? Ever a champion for the little guy, an unapologetic, bleeding-heart tax-and-spend liberal? Indeed, he is. Quote
RobBob Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 You guys got better taste than I thought! Some good cheap Chards are available from Austrailia also, although some are just too damn oaky. Penfolds Kanooga and Jacobs Creek both can be found for good prices. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 While DFA is not a huge domestic wine consumer either, and can't remember the last Californian vintage he supped, but it matters little - the above listed wine is the B-O-M-B bomb! Buy it and see. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 Jacob's Creek Merlot is supposed to be a goody, too. Nature's has that for about 8 bucks right now, dunno if that's cheaper than usual or not. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 6, 2003 Author Posted January 6, 2003 Â What's that, Trask? Real men chug Jack Black? You ol' dirty dog! Quote
