This month is a hodgepodge of some of my favorite wines from the year. It's still hard to believe we are at the end of the year. I'm already scheming for next year. We really enjoyed having the Long Shadow tasting last week and are planning on more events like that.
As for this month, the selections are an eclectic mix. I'm revisiting the Powers wines, well because, they are just a darn good value. The Cabernet Franc is 100% from Sheridan Vineyards in the Rattlesnake Hills.
For the white wine selection, I chose an easy drinking Chardonnay from Louis Latour. A nice option for all your holiday celebrations.
You've seen the Esja wines before, I am really just smitten with what the winemaker is doing. It was inadvertent, but we are back in Rattlesnake Hills with another Cabernet Franc.
The white wine for the Sapphire level this month, is my favorite wine from the whole year. Spanish white wines are already my favorite but the Lagar d Cervera Alabriño really makes me want to quit my job and move to Spain.
The wines from Dunham are a no brainer. The Cabernet Sauvignon has won wine competitions and score 90+ points from Wine Enthusiast, James Suckling and Jeb Dunnuck. Dunham Cellars has been a mainstay in Walla Walla since 1995 and continues to release acclaimed wine.
