Slip Sliding Away - WWCS for 2/12/2008

If you enjoyed last week's tasting, you won't want to miss this!
Especially if you like Full Bodied Red Wines, drinking well, with
some aging potential, and around $20.

Last week set the stage, and this week promises to continue the great
show!

We'll taste a really nice Syrah and Pinot Noir, both from California,
an atypical Chianti Classico (after tasting, we both said "Why can't you
ever find a Chianti this good in an Italian restaurant?, another Italian blend, and a surprisingly big, full bodied 04 California Cab.We'll have some nice cheese and crusty bread to complement.

Can't wait. See you Tuesday.
