Wine Blogging Wednesday, WBW

A Penny and a Pound
Taking the slighter of the two first, the better to stoke the fires of your burning curiousity, dear reader: WBW - Wine Blogging Wednesday - #20 has been announced, and looks to be a worthwhile endeavour. If you want a fairly safe bet, Colios Estate Pinot Grigio 2004 took a gold at this years Cuvée and I wont call you a cheater if you use WBW as an excuse to try the 2004 Vidal Icewine from EastDell Estates - also a gold winner.

For the March 2006 edition of Wine Blogging Wednesday, the 19th in the series and my 2nd, Jathan at Winexpression.com has suggested the topic of Rhone-style wines. This topic gets back to the pure tasting roots of WBW, after last months diversion to wine shops that feel the love.

I imagine other wines in their portfolio are more interesting and might have made a more interesting entry for WBW19, but this one was worthy in that you can tell what aspects it gets from the Syrah (pepper, blackberry), Grenache (spicy herbs, cherry) and Carignane (rigidity, bitterness).

Back in action...
Ive got quite a few tasting notes to sort through and Wine Blogging Wednesday to prepare for, so it shouldnt be long before this space gets back to normal stay tuned.

Side note: Wine Blogging Wednesday is a lot of fun, but I've always thought it would be cool to do a sort of "book club" thing.
