Ramat-Aviv quartet - 27 years anniversary (about) (at Chanoch Reichenberg): dark transparent red-brown subtle fruity-floral-earthy aroma of what should be a great wine from an average vintage - but actually below expectations medium bodied, soft round tannins, too soft even, mild fruity flavours with earthy notes, again somewhat a disappointment. but went along ok with cold cuts and quality cheese.

popped and poured. color med ruby. nose started out a little funky and vegetal. palate similar on opening. With dinner (duck breast and currant glaze) the red fruits emerged, only to disappear after dinner into a sort of bandaid smelling very light fruit high acid/tannin melange that begged for food support. not a fan. won't buy again despite discount. i guess not a huge surprise given vintage.

Some New world Pinot/Chard and some Old World Pinot/Chard in San Diego; 8/7/2009-8/8/2009 (Farm House Cafe, San Diego): A light nose of fresh violet and berries. A lean palate with smooth prominent fruit with long almost zesty acidity. A finish of fresh earth and berries that lingered in with the acid, there was a hint of asparagus creeping up on the finish but it never became a prominent factor on the palate. Not overly complex but stayed strong through the night and went great with the salmon I had.

Crustacean: White pepper; berry, softer bod than Pommard, but not great.
