Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1991

We had this wine with our dinner at Todd’s Unique Dining (July 17, 2008) – I thought it was great (but what do I know about wine, except it tastes good!) This time at Todd’s I had the Colorado Rack of Lamb with pomegranate and black pepper, it was awesome! Very flavorful! (Rachelle) mmmm 1991 Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve! Now that is wine! Why? Simple the old school wine making and not over extracted, oak, alcohol! Wine is measured by one thing the test of time! I see all these big scores and when I taste American wines when they are old! They fall apart!

Dutton-Goldfield Rued Vineyard Chardonnay Wine

I had this wine with dinner tonight (June 16, 2008) and it was great not too oak-y like other chardonnays I've tasted before! (like I know SO much about wine - ha!) Yeah I will attest to that! Wine is defined by one thing- You remember it! There is nothing more to it. You will remember this; where you where, who you were with, when, the food you had with the wine, the ambiance, the time, and many other details. It’s a specific memory that your mine will not erase!

My husband says it’s the "greatest piece of dirt in all of Russian River Valley; the vineyard was planted in 1969 by Warren Dutton. It's only a five acre piece of land and is the oldest chardonnay vineyard in that region. Dan Goldfield is the winemaker; and is considered the premier winemaker in America for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay." Is there anything to add here? I think not!

It’s a great bottle of wine, you should try it… “if you can find it, because it’s a rare wine” my husband says over my shoulder as he watches me type this blog. Just to make sure I get it right. Yeah I am here and I know that I am right! Since she will believe everything I say! Hahahaha!
