2011 Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel

Uncorked a Sonoma County Zinfandel this afternoon to go with a homemade pizza we are whipping up for dinner.  This is the Seghesio Family Vineyards 2011 Sonoma County Zinfandel sourced from some of the oldest vineyards in the county.  Seghesio has been growing grapes near Healdsburg for over 100 years and have a breadth of knowledge and experience that leads to some great wines, including this one.

The first thing that strikes me when tasting this wine is the smoothness.  Nice dark fruits and vanilla on the nose and then the taste buds explode with blackberry and plum flavors during the first sip.  Nice dry finish with a trace of  oak on the back end.  Very well put together wine that ranks up there at the top of my favorite Zins.

The Seghesio website -----> Proprietary clones

A nice review from the Thumbs Up Wine Review guys (it is a bit over the top, but spot on):

Winter Winter Ale On A Saturday

It's a fine Saturday evening out here on the Left Coast and I have a fine Winter Ale that is going down great.  Spent my Friday up in Portland but was back late last night - it is nice to be home!  I picked up a few souvenirs on my trip though - including the 22 oz craftbrew that you see above.  The brewery is Oakshire, which is located in Eugene Oregon, a bit east and south of Portland.  I've had the Overcast Expresso Stout from the brewery and it was very nice, so I thought I would pick up their Winter Ale.  This is called the Ill Tempered Gnome - great name!

Let's see, the website calls out 65 IBU, 6.8 % ABV and 15.5 Plato, but hey, I'm no Philosopher....  I have to say that the Overcast was a wee bit better, as this American Brown Ale is lacking a bit in my humble opinion.  Not to say that I am not enjoying it, but I have had some better Seasonal Brown Ales before (love the Anderson Valley Winter Solstice Ale).  The Gnome has a nice dark amber color and a wisp of a head.  Nice roasted malt flavors (brown sugar, chocolate and toffee).  Saving the second half of the bomber for dinner to go with some grilled Salmon and fingerling potatoes.

Oakshire website ------> Take a little Gnome home

Beer Guy PDX review -----> 3 1/2 crushed cans out of 4

Hit up a few record stores while up in the The City Of Roses.  I had been to Music Millennium in the past and it is a great store (see photo above).  They have added a line of "Keep Portland Weird" merchandise - stickers, pint glasses, buttons, etc - pretty weird if ya ask me...  Also hit up Green Noise - the home of Dirtnap records.

A couple of new stores I found - Mississippi Records - freakin great for 7"ers! and Smut records - yes that is spelled correctly - strange that I didn't find any of those X-rated 45's there....

Cheers,
Jerry

New Belgium Trippel and a Mats Christmas!

Sunny and mild out here on the Left Coast - is is really almost January? - hard to tell as it has been a dry December.  Got a nice and Sunny brew poured to sample tonight - a New Belgium Trippel.  Received this as a gift, along with 5 other assorted beers as part of one of those sampler 6 packs that you can put together at World Market.  Others included were an Acme Pale Ale, Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Anchor Liberty, Stone Ruination and Deschutes Mirror Pond - quite a nice gift. The one beer that intrigued me was the sixth beer - the Trippel.  This is a beer that I never would have picked out myself, as it proudly proclaims on the label that it is brewed with Coriander.  Really?  Sounds rather nasty - boy was I surprised!

The beer poured a nice Sunny amber with a very small head that bubbled away quickly. Wonderful malty goodness in the nose with no hint of the Coriander.  The taste is wonderful and the Coriander is very very subtle, giving the beer a mysterious complexity that is leaving me with a strange desire to go pick up a six pack of the beer.

Here at the Pinhead Studios, it has been a Mats Christmas -

The family snuck out my Denver Riotfest poster and had it framed and "Mat" ed very nicely and also included the great Waxed Up Hair & Painted Shoes coffee table book released just last month by Jim Walsh.  Also, got a copy of the Songs For Slim 2 CD set - seems that Santa is a Mats fan!
