Thanks for reading :)<br />I think you have described Tomasso, Thud and ALW succinctly and perfectly :)<br /><br />Tomasso: "Nessun argomento" - I like that!<br />That's how I feel about Pinot noir in Napa.<br /><br />Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-40302153810374117272012-12-01T07:45:38.127-08:002012-12-01T07:45:38.127-08:00VG,

It's obvious that Thomas has the experience to help all us novices along the path of "enlightenment" :-) Thud keeps us on our toes ;-), and About Last Weekend reminds us of sunny days and keeping things "normal" :/New Hampshire Winemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111304557830665931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-87918600118129064882012-11-30T19:15:19.619-08:002012-11-30T19:15:19.619-08:00Tomasso: No, go right ahead.

And I would argue that certain grape varieties should not be grown in certain parts of Napa County.Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-83387987466234385372012-11-30T19:08:35.762-08:002012-11-30T19:08:35.762-08:00Trying not to say anything, because talking about ...Trying not to say anything, because talking about a tasting in which one was not involved isn't exactly smart, but I would like to point out that it's problematic to mix native North American, French Hybrid, and vinifera in the same tasting, and expect anything but a strange result. It's comparable to tasting lemon juice, ice cream, and brie in the same sitting.<br />Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-39884104508255820392012-11-30T15:24:42.393-08:002012-11-30T15:24:42.393-08:00NHW: There were 2 Dr. Konstantin Frank wines from...NHW: There were 2 Dr. Konstantin Frank wines from NY; a Muscat Ottonel and a Gewütrztraminer - nothing to say about them really, except they were a little varietal-like.<br />There were 5 wines from Virginia; a Barboursville Vineyards Riesling was the most varietal-like wine of the night. The rest, which included a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay, were not even varietal-like. A Norton dessert wine, from Rappahannock Cellars, was an abomination!<br />Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-77279986798804320952012-11-30T13:36:22.418-08:002012-11-30T13:36:22.418-08:00So far, so sad!
