...a local wineshop had a Friday night tasting of Rombauer wines.
2010 Chardonnay $32 - this was as spectacular as ever, one of our annual favorites. "Blackhawk crack", indeed.
2008 Merlot $32- this was surprising because I'm not usually a fan but it was my favorite of their reds and was more complex than the others.
2008 Cabernet $46 - this was just released and still pretty tight but had some potential - fairly light style.
2009 Zinfandel $28 - their zins tend to be on the lighter, sweeter side, but this one seemed to have little else going on. My wife thought this might make a good desert wine.
Follow Ups:
of a couple that used to live down the street. House was 3500 sq. ft. moved to 8300 sq. ft.
They were serving Rombauer Cab. to 250 guests.
Guess selling oil tool is a good business right now.
It was good, but they were serving it a bit too chilled.
...chardonnay to your many guests let's them know both that you have arrived and have excellent taste - even more so than your spacious mansion.Serving their cabernet shows you are a little confused - it's pretty good but doesn't quite have the cachet of say, Opus One or even Stags Leap, not to mention Mondavi, BV and many others known for good cabs.
