  June 8, 2010 - D'Vine Wine Bar June 2010 Monthly Tasting "World Cup Wines" (d'Vine Wine Bar - Dunwoody, GA): Had at d'Vine wine Bar June Monthly Tasting - PnP, Nice amount of black fruit, black currant on the attack, maybe even a hint of pepper...then on the mid palate to the finish, there is a strong hit of smoked meats, the transition to smoked meats makes the wine very interesting, but I think it would be better if it was a little more subdued. Medium to full bodied, with relatively soft tannins... Was perhaps the most interesting wine of the night, though maybe not the best tasting. Pretty solid QPR for $16 or so, especially for fans of the style.

  January 21, 2010 - a very nice wine, and fabulous for the price. smoky bacony flavor with good body and tannins, a little rich maybe. the nose has strong cigar/tobaco odors which are also in the flavor.
