1976 Inglenook Zinfandel

11/13/13-The brown bag wine sampled at the Knitters at the Tim and Jane Curtis home was an enjoyable 1976 Zinfandel.  The Zin paired well with the chili dogs.  Tim Curtis batting two for two guessed it.

85 Christian Brothers Cabernet

10/24/2013-The brown bag wine sampled at the Thursday wine tasting at the Folsom Lakeforest wine store was an enjoyable and well made older cabernet.  The Faust's are gettin too good; Keith was the only one to guess it to be a cabernet.

Koenig Ice Wine (Idaho)

10/10/2013- The brown bag wine sampled at the Thursday wine tasting at the Folsom Lakeforest wine store was a delicious Ice Wine.  Again, Helen Faust was not fooled and nailed it as an Ice Wine.


81 Edna Valley Pinot Noir

10/3/2013- The brown bag wine sampled at the Thursday wine tasting at the Folsom Lakeforest wine store was a well preserved pinot noir.  I poured the contents into a thinner bottle to disguise the wine; however, I didn't fool Helen Faust who seemed to know that I couldn't be trusted.
