I am back

Ok - I tried Instagram and Twitter, but found them too limiting for what I want to blog. I will start using Blogger again and use it primarily for wine and coffee related thoughts...

Wine of the Day 12/29/12 2009 Guigal Cotes du Rhone Red

This is a relatively expensive Cotes du Rhone (on par with many CdR Villages), yet it is one of the most insipid CdR's that I have tasted in a long while. Not to say there is no flavor - the classic dark fruit, tobacco, and herbs are all there, they are just lifeless and dull. Last year I had a few bottles of the 2007 vintage, and it was also one of the weakest of all the 2007's I have had. Save your money as there are an abundance of other CdR's at 2/3 the price of this wine that are heads and shoulders above.
