Bitter, young yet drinkable. Paired with prosciutto and arugula.

If you love wine and you really want to learn what it takes to know wine; you will love this film. theSeattleCook was invited to a per-screening of this documentary and since Ash was busy I took my Dad <– he enjoys wine. SOMM is about 4 wine students who obsess, drink and learn everything they can about wine before taking the Master Sommelier course. They (wine students) are a rare breed of crazy, easy going, arrogant and driven in a quest to pass the ultimate test of becoming a Master Sommelier (less than 200) as of filming (you’ll see what happens next 🙂 The movie inspired us to basically drink more wine and maybe one day take the entry level test. How cool…
This wine felt like a lot of alcohol however still seemed to sip well throughout dinner. Great color with a moderate intensity on the nose. Simple pleasure.

During a quick weekend trip for my little brother’s birthday in Leavenworth, WA we ran across the Voodoo by Elevage Wine Company tasting room. They said their label glowed in the dark and that their Viognier was red. I enjoyed my tasting and bought the bottle home for Ash. We opened today and sat out on the back patio of the building. A great white wine that is actually red. To us the Viognier was a perfect blend of smooth with buttery with refreshing characteristics. Good wine. Fun times.

One of our favorite wines of this 365 challenge. We found the wine had a great balance of smooth with a fruit forward feel. The wine was a simple pleasure.

Sipped this late harvest Zin last night brought over by my older brother from Tri-Cities. At first I thought what an amazing zin very sweet…then I looked at the label and saw it was a late harvest so naturally slightly sweeter than a standard zin. This wine had an almost port taste butlighter. Good wine.

Average cab. Cheap wine. Acidic with tannins.

Felt light with a bite that did not fade; dry with a hint of citrus.

A decent in-air treat. The wine started to taste better as we cruised at 35,000 feet. Slightly bitter with hints of blackberries.

Enjoyed by the glass at Kimo’s in Lahaina. I only sipped as this was Mrs. Hayes’s (Ashley’s moms glass). Definitely detected a spicy note with hints of berries. Great wine by the glass!
