11/5/15- Thursday El

my emails. He nailed this wine, both
grape and year.

1982 Long Chardonnay
10/29/15-Thursday El Dorado
Wine Tasting. Another outstanding aged
chardonnay from Zelma Long. Still fruity
and enjoyable. The Heidi Barrett of the
70’s.
1986 Wagner Seyval Blanc
10/2/15-Knitters tasting
and dinner at the home of Gary and Laura.
The wine was from Finger Lake Region, Lodi, New York, and was a
thoroughly fruity and enjoyable white wine.
Most thought it to be an excellent aged chardonnay.
1985 Stags Leap Wine Cellar Cabernet
8/11/15-Knitters tasting
and dinner at the Faust home. Awesome
wine.
1985 Christian Brothers Cabernet
5/28/15-Thursday El Dorado
Hills wine tasting. Not nearly as
pleasant as the 1984 enjoyed last week.
Confused most everyone.

1984 Christian Brothers Cabernet
5/22/15-Knitters tasting
and dinner at the Rose-Laskowski home.
This wine was incredibly fruity and enjoyable.
1984 Livermore Cellars Grey Riesling
5/21/15-Thursday El
Dorado Hills wine tasting. Most guessed
this wine to be a chardonnay; all except Steve Price who nailed it.
1986 Mure Pinot Gris
5/14/15-Thursday El
Dorado Hills wine tasting. Most guessed
this wine to be a gewurztraminer. A pleasant easy drinking wine.
1983 Caymus Cabernet
5/7/15-Thursday El
Dorado Hills wine tasting. An
outstanding example of a well made Napa cabernet. Tim Curtis guessed cabernet after a few false
try’s and Raj aced it as a mid 80 cab from Caymus or Heitz.
1984 Monticello Cabernet
4/30/15-Thursday El Dorado
Hills wine tasting. This time all
participants guessed pinot noir. A quite
fruity cabernet.
1983 Fitch Mountain Cabernet (bottled for Stanford Alumni)
4/21/15-Thursday El
Dorado Hills wine tasting. All
participants guessed this wine to be a zinfandel, primarily because it was so
intensely fruity. Very enjoyable.

NV Bogle Petite Sirah
3/11/15-Knitters at the
Vik’s home. All thought it to be a
zinfandel. Still healthy and enjoyable.

3/5/15-Thursday tasting. Most thought it
to be a zinfandel. Very fruity and
enjoyable
1981 Mansion Cellars Cabernet
2/11/15-Kitters at the
Faust home. Another aged wine that was
quite enjoyable.
1980 Fisher Chardonnay
2/5/15-Thursday tasting. Again, Fred Fisher had made an excellent well
ageing chardonnay thoroughly enjoyed by all.
1979 Fisher Chardonnay
1/29/15-Thursday
tasting. This wine was thoroughly
enjoyed by all, with several participants coming back for seconds. Keith Faust again nailed this wine.
1978 Jordan Cabernet
1/24/15-An awesome well
aged cabernet was the brown bag wine at the Rose-Laskowski pink champagne
tasting. Keith Faust nailed this one.
1977 Rutherford Vintners Cabernet
1/22/15-This aged
cabernet fooled most, with a wide range of guesses.
NV R&J Cook Varietal Red
1/14/15-Knitters at the
Hennige’s provided another Clarksburg wine by Roger and Joann Cook. The grapes were cabernet-50%, Petite
Sirah-20%, Merlot-16%, Napa Gamay-15%. I
guess the bottle was over-filled by 1%.
1976 Burgess Cabernet
1/8/15-Thursday tasting
at El Dorado wine store provided an unusual tasting older wine that confused
all but Keith and Gary. Other guesses
included Bordeaux, pinot noir and zinfandel.

12/26/14-Friday tasting at
El Dorado wine store featured a near-50 year old German Riesling that was still
drinkable and did not fool Raj or Tim Curtis.
