Light in color and body, this was quite a different rose than the French roses I have more experience with.
Aromas and flavors of strawberries with firm acidity, and decent length and complexity on the finish. This rose worked well with shrimp cocktail and cheese & crackers. Some may find the slight bitterness off-putting, but I viewed it as interesting.

Moderate intensity of color for a cabernet. The pleasant reticent aromas of blueberry and dark fruits slowly evolved as the tannins smoothed out and became more silky. A very pleasant easy drinking cabernet with a little bit of complexity, but weak on flavor. This is not an ager - drink now.

Pale gold in color with aromas of oak and tropical fruit - pineapple, peach. PnP from refrigerator this wine showed well, with buttery oak as the wine warmed slightly. However, as it approached RT the oak overwhelmed the delicate fruit... drink this one cold!!! Not much fruit here, so don't wait too long to drink this one.

Pale gold in color with mild aromas of peach and pear, some tropical fruit, which strengthened over time. Very flavorful with some sparkle, but without much body. Great QPR.

Well balanced chardonnay with good fruit of pineapple, peach, and enough oak to balance but not overwhelm it. The oak became more apparent as the chardonnay warmed to RT. Overall tasty.

Rich and syrupy sweet, but not overpoweringly so due to a healthy dose of acidity, especially paired with food. Aromas of dried fruit and cinnamon spice lead to a smooth finish with good length. This wine paired very well with tiramisu.

The pairing with dark chocolate brownies and cookies worked well, but overall this black muscat seemed flat and bland when compared with a fortified muscat and LBV port. Not quite a fair comparison I know, but it was what it was.

Good mellow port, with a long finish and touch of complexity. This port went well with dark chocolate brownies and cookies, as they seemed to mellow/meld together. A solid port, but nothing too memorable.
