This week's wine

We had some really tremendous wine this past week. I thought I'd share.

Mark West Pinot Noir
This bottle is a whopping $9 bucks. For a Pinot!? It is really lovely, lots of focus on the fruit and very smooth on the tongue. If you're looking for a velvety Pinot, this isn't it. For the price it is truly excellent.

Schloss Vollrads Kabinett Rheingau Riesling 2005
If it were possible, albeit reasonable to juice an enormous amount of star fruit, this is what you would get. I served this sweet Riesling with a tasty roast chicken. It is really phenomenal and has this awesome glass cork. I found it thick like a Gerwurtztraminer or even an Eiswine with a slight acidity.
