Tastes from Nov 11th - 17th

This was a relatively slow week for us.  We did do some new tastes, but with the coming end of the school year and the rush and bustle that comes with it, we have been too busy to do much.  We'll start with some tastes from our regular Vintage Cellar Saturday tasting.

952. 2008 - Guy Saget - Pouilly-Fumé - Le Domaine Saget
953. 2009 - Bouchard Finlayson - Blanc de Mer
954. 2009 - Quinta do Quetzal - Alentejo Guadalupe
955. 2007 - Bodegas y Viñedos Escudero - Rioja - Noega
956. 2003 - Castello di Lucignano - Il Solissimo
957. 2006 - Fortediga Estates - Cabernet - Syrah - Maremma - Toscana IGT

We also tried 3 new beers over the week.

958. Brewery Ommegang - Adoration - This is one spicy beer with some unusual spices you don't often find in beers like grains of paradise and mace.  It's initially a bit overpowering, but as you drink it (and it warms up some to maybe 55F), it becomes smoother and more drinkable.  
959. Epic Brewing - Fest Devious Märzen - This is a nice fall beer - quite a nice märzen.
960. Rogue Ales - Santas Private Reserve - Our second Christmas beer and this is one very hoppy ale. 

That's all for this week.  We should have a lot more tastes this coming week.
