Don’t try this at home, go to your best friend’s to try these
For now and later
The vineyard is near Verona and we have a beautiful blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Tocai (Friulano), Cortese (Fernanda), Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon. 30 year old vines give us character.
A lovely yellow with green highlights. Dry and Tangy. Nicely full bodied and a long persistent after taste.
Enjoy it now, and stow it away for up to 4 or 5 years to enjoy later.

On June 18th, 2020, we started our stories of the morning after the day before.
In the past year Cooper and Doris have presided over more than:
150+ wine suggestions from the Goddess of Wine
1000+ observations of the human calamity
1200+ photos of the neighbouring hoods
2420+ kilometres walked on the Daily Hoof.
That’s a lot of incidental observations! What have you been up to?
Only the Shadow Knows what our storied future will hold. Hopefully, many a shenanigan will be amongst our adventures.

Thought I’d remind you what an invitation to a reunion with ya’ll is going to look like:
Challenging and Relevant
Written by a Biblical scholar, but blacklisted in 1954 by the Vatican and made into a movie by Martin Scorsese.
It has to be taken into context somewhat with the life of the author, his experiences and the events that he lived through, as without those this book would never have been written or have the creative power that it does.
It is an important book, an epic of violence, love and faith.
Historical Novel?
Reinterpretation of the Gospel?
Human Interest story?
Don’t watch the movie. Read the book and then let’s talk about it.
The Last Temptation of Christ, Nikos Kazantzakis
Region not grape variety
A very good reason that it’s a FEATURED item – it’s good.
Jammy and Berry flavours in a great execution of flavour forward. Great depth and structure.
Fruit for this wine was sourced from vineyards in Sonoma (19%), Monterey (59%) and Santa Barbara (22%) for this 100% Pinot Noir blend.
A suggestion: Drink this wine via smaller, freshly poured sips. Fill your wine glass up to no more than 10-15% if you want to taste more fruit. Experiment with it to see what happens as the wine breathes… fun!
Layered and velvety, it’s ready to drink and food-friendly. Think pork chops or salmon.

Weekly Advise
No! You can’t have mine .. I’m not sharing!
Medium bodied. Light. Clear. Non-citrusy. Very nice minerality with a hint of lemongrass.
It is superbly structured and balanced . There is an excellent crisp acidity on the finish.
This delightful wine is entirely grown, crafted, and bottled in Marlborough and certified sustainable by the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand organization.
This would be great with snacks fare.
We should look for their Gewurtz and Chardonnays to see what they are like

These two are holdovers from previous Mystery Cases. Saving them for a visit from special friends .. and that was Sunday.’s lunch. And the wait was worth it.
Hand Harvested combo of 50% Pinot Blanc and 50% Auxerrois from the largest family-owned and family-operated winery in Alsace
This Cattin is bright pale gold, with a hint of slightly lemony green apples. A fresh palette which comes with more rounded flavours of fresh red apple with that lovely, yeasty backdrop.

Graham Beck Brut Rose from the Western Cape is made from the traditional Méthode Cap Classique base wines of Pinot Noir (66%) and Chardonnay (34%).
Its unique silver-pink hue is obtained by an enzymatic reaction during the transport of the Pinot Noir fruit to the cellar. The fine, lively mousse is brisk on the palate, showing hints of oyster shell, fresh lavender and subtle hints of berry and cherry.
