2011 Painter Bridge Zinfandel

I didn't take any chances with corked wine tonight as I chose a wine with a screwcap.  I wanted to make sure I could enjoy the wine and not have to dump it down the drain.  I've got a 2011 Painter Bridge Zinfandel from the J Lohr Winery.  The grapes are sourced from the Paso Robles area of California.  If you have ever seen the movie Sideways, you have seen the area.  Situated half way between San Fransisco and Los Angeles and near the coast, the area has a great climate for producing really good Pinot Noirs.  It appears that the Zinfandels grown in that area are pretty nice too, if this one is represents the area.  Strange that the Winery chose to bottle this in a "Burgundy" shaped bottle, which most Pinot Noirs come in, but not Zinfandels.  Interesting choice, but it is a bit appropriate as to the region the wine is from and the softer style that the Zinfandel is made in.  This one is only 13.1% alcohol, as opposed to the big bold 15% Zins that I have had before.  Nice hints of Oak, Pepper and Plum is gonna make this one go well with the Tri-Tip on the grill.

Painter Bridge website-----> 83% Zinfandel, 17% Petite Sirah

Cheers!

Great Basin Brewing "Icky" IPA and a Couple of Home Brews

A wonderful fall day - hit 75 degrees out here on the left coast - yes, put the shorts back on for a day..... Cracking open a couple of beers that were sent to me by a kind listener of the show - Brent from the Reno, Nevada area.  Seems Brent has been brewing up some goodness on his own and sent me a Blonde Ale and a Pale Ale / Amber of his to try and he threw in a local beer too.  If you want to know what I think of the home brews, you will just have to listen to the show that I've been putting together this afternoon.  Yes, recording on a Saturday again as I have a busy schedule tomorrow.  I've been planning a trip up to the Sierra Nevada Brewery for a few months now and tomorrow is the day!  Meeting up with Jake of the Jake's Inferno podcast to taste a few of the brewery's offering and go record shopping.

The beer at hand is the Ichthyosaur "Icky" IPA from the Great Basin Brewing Company located in Reno, Nevada.  This one is named after the Nevada official state fossil - kinda clever methinks.  This beer poured a nice hazy orange with a finger and 1/2 of a white frothy head.  Nice peaks and valleys in the head, beckoning me to get my upper lip coated.  The hops are nice and subdued on this IPA.  I've been hit over the head a few times with the "Hopped Up IPAs" lately and this one is a bit of a change of pace - almost in the Pale Ale category - nice and drinkable.  I'll be looking for more of this one on the shelves - hope it is distributed out my way....

Fort George Brewing Vortex IPA

Recording the Halloween episode and sampling a beer that I brought back from a trip to Portland earlier this week.  This one, a Fort George Brewing Vortex IPA, came back in my checked luggage.  I should have read the can as the beer is unpasteurized and needs to be refrigerated at all times.  Well, it was in my bag for a couple of days and then hit the refrigerator, none the worse for wear.  The brewery is in Astoria, Oregon on the banks of the Mighty Columbia River downstream from Portland and just before the waters of the river empty into the Pacific.

Nice orange color with small white floaters due to this being an unfiltered beer.  So, that means that I just downed lotsa brewers yeast - yeah - my Chromium and Vitamin B - complex quota for the day has been met, as the yeast provide lotsa great stuff for your health - Cheers!

This one is 7.7% ABV and rates a 97 IBU.  Nicely balanced, but with a couple of sharp notes that prevent it from being stellar.  I will seek out more from the brewery if I ever get back up to Portland.
