2009 Tanis Mourvedre

Only 3 more days til Christmas - better get started on my shopping.....  A little Mourvedre will get me in the mood, I'm thinking.  This one is a Christmas present from a friend who purchased it at the winery in Ione, California.  Ione is just south of Plymouth in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California.  The area is well known for the wonderful Zinfandels that are grown in the region and I have to say that I have never had a Mourvedre from the area.  

This one is a nice dark red in the glass with wonderful Butterscotch and Oak notes in the nose.  Smooth and silky mouthfeel, with wonderful Raspberry notes - hmm - even getting a hint of some sort of nutty character.

Very nice wine that has been vinified with great care.  I'll have to take a visit there next time I head up to the foothills - great wine.

Tanis Winery website ---- > 800 case per year production

Mouvedre on Wiki ----- > can produce highly perfumed wines

2013 Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Greeting and Salutations on this fine Sunday out here on the Left Coast.  A bit nippy, but have no fear, I have a fine Ale to keep me warm.  That and the heat given off by the games in the Pinhead Studio.  This  is the 32nd year that the Sierra Nevada Brewery has brewed up this IPA, yep started it all in 1981.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the very first West Coast IPA - you know that beer championed by the beard wearing, hop loving, ale nazis (not to be confused with the soup nazis) that were born around 1981.

This year's Celebration keeps the flame alive with a great Copper / Cedar color and a creamy white head with lots of those peaks and valleys I love.  Lotsa lacing on the glass - a nice etched Sierra Nevada Imperial Pint Glass that I picked up at the Brewery in Chico a few months ago.  You can get one too over here:

Sierra Nevada Imperial Pint Glass ----- only $3.50

If you have not tried this year's Celebration Ale, get yourself on over to your neighborhood Ale Shop and grab a sixer - you won't regret it!

Jellybean Red Wine Blend

Greetings on this Post-Thanksgiving Saturday.  I hope everyone in the US had a great Turkey Day and a fine Food Coma Day (the Friday after.....).  I had the traditional Friday after turkey day breakfast - yes, Pumpkin Pie.

I've unscrewed the cap on a Spanish Red this evening to go with the Turkey leftovers.  This one is a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet and Merlot.  I'm getting lotsa Merlot and a good bit of residual sugar.  That is making for a very smooth wine.  Some nice berry flavors and a bit of spice - yes this one should go well with the Turkey.

The Jellybean website ----->  Bursting with Ripe, Juicy Flavors

A PR piece on the brand -----> OFFBeat brands

Under the Grapetree review -----> hint of sweet blue fruit

Cheers,

Jerry
