Listing of wine reviews;

Casillero del Diablo Merlot 2010 – it’s one big swirl of warm mocha, dry cocoa and bing cherry; so good, you don’t need to pair it with anything.

Santa Julia Malbec 2010 – It has a fruity, spice character that complements everything from cheesy pizza to slow cooked meats and stews.

Bogle Old Vine Zinfandel – Note of cinnamon and baking spices complement the season.

McWilliams Hanwood Estate Chardonnay – it’s a sunny fruit salad in a glass, a hint of sweet melon and vanilla.

Murphy-goode Zinfandel Liar’s Dice 2008 – a wonderful berry aroma, that pairs well with cheese and wine. (This has black pepper)

 

Liquor

Blue Curacao – a liqueur made from laraha citrus fruit.
