Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Riserva Rocca Guicciarda 2006

This is my Halloween wine, I like it so much. The color combination is a bit weird. I really want to try a nice Amarone but it feels like a waste to party on it...

Dandelion Vineyards 'Lionheart of the Barossa' Shiraz, 2008, Eden Valley


Trying just a small bottle but I like it.

Paul Cluver Pinot Noir 2008

I found it while watching the Travel Chanel. You are supposed to cellar it from 5 to 7 years but I tried it anyway. Really good!

RouteStock Cellars 2007 Pinot Noir "Route 99W", Willamette Valley

The awesome Pinot I had the the Waldorf. I have to find it!!!

Brown Brothers Shiraz 2008


Don't remember the taste but it was ok.

Finca el Puig Priorat 2003

It was one of the last wines that I tasted during a wine expo. At that point it seemed amazing so I had to order it. I kept if at home for a couple of months but tonight it was the right time to open it. I was supposed to spend the weekend in Barcelona but the flight got cancelled due the a snow storm. With no better option at sight, I just returned home and opened a bottle. The aroma was as I remember it but the taste was so strong. It is a really heavy wine that maybe you shouldn't drink while being extremely pissed off. It remined med of a portwine for some reason. I have one more priorat at home and I am hoping that it won't be that extreme.

Beckmen Vineyards Cuvee Le Bec 2007


Another lovely wine, a bit expensive. Will get it soon.

Peachy Canyon Zinfandel 2007

Dancing Bull Zinfandel 2007


Great wine, only available in restaurants (Taras for example)
