1997 - 2007 Grenache Pairs (Tom's House, Palo Alto, CA): Ruby red, translucent. Sweet red cherry fruit, very Pinot-like nose. Medium bodied with low acidity. Sweet, sweet, syrupy red fruit. A bit of bitter tannin and heat. Not my style. (my 7th, group's 4th)

1999-2007 Grenache Pairs (Palo Alto, California): Tasted Blind - Some signs of aging through the ruby edge color. Nice nose. Strange and somewhat offending palate with hints of alcohol and heat in the finish, but yet very enjoyable. 100% Grenache Group's #4 (my #4) – 38 pts – 1/1/3/0

2003 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tasting with GMS ringers from other countries (Rich & Peggy's House, Los Altos, CA): Excellent nose, despite being a little bit hot. Very rich palate with cherries and mature tannins. Fairly long finish that gives you the impression you are drinking a soft Port (!). Tasted blind.
My #5, Group's #5 (74 pts).

Blind Tasting 2009 & 2010 Cotes du Rhone (Rich & Peggy's House, Los Altos, CA): Very sweet, cherry juice nose. Sweet strawberry fruit on the palate, some baking spice. Not my style.
