Trader Joe's Reserve... it's like getting to sneak in the cellar for a wine run... You just grab it and run as fast as you can... Petit Verdot is a bit of a secret, used mainly for blending. I'm a big fan... just check out "The Look".. . It carries some "Tannin" so you get that soft chewy feeling in the mouth, not unlike cotton candy without all the sugar... Ok, actually nothing like cotton candy, more of a Kleenex, but with flavor. It will really dry your mouth out without giving you the munchies. On the tail end of the taste an inkling of fruit will linger on the tip of your tongue...wow! And for those of you interested, the color is blood red, deep and inviting (that really sounds sexual)...This 2007 from Paso Robles is a sure winner (I didn't blog it until I was sure to have enough in my own clutches ;-). A reasonable price at less than $10. Drinking it tonight w/ a thai chicken, but imagine it would go well with any hearty meat dish...Or just like I'm drinking it now, all by its lonesome!
