WineBerserkers Brunch and Dinner (San Francisco): Browning; musty, meaty, hint iron, spices; no fruit on palate, not much to remark on there. The nose is amazing, but the palate is OTH. 90 for nose, 80 for palate.

Welcome Noel to SF Brunch (Foreign Cinema, San Francisco, CA USA): This wine was all about the nose - perhaps the finest example I have had of a Pinot that screamed "California". The cola notes have dissolved into far more subtle spice aromas, and were backed up with trademark but restrained Cali earth and cherry. At first I found it tired on the palate, but it got more lively if never being much more then sturdy.

Fortunately, this was still hanging in there! Popped and poured. Actually improved after an hour. Nice and balanced with a great long finish.

Casual Burgundy Dinner, Wine Mostly Served Blind (Carlos - Highwood, IL): Corked. sad because there was still good fruit in background.
