Holiday Wine Tastings!

Got to try several new wines this holiday, some better than others, but overall pretty awesome. The other day I met a friend of mine, that just moved back to the area, for our favorite pizza. It’s this great Italian restaurant that makes a brick oven pizza that is absolutely awesome. They also serve fresh bread that you dip in olive oil mixed with spices, and it is very good. And for dessert….tiramisu of course. All this deliciousness was paired with nothing other than an Italian wine, 2011 Cavit Pinot Noir, a very nice, easy to drink, wine that went very well with our meal.

Next was my dinner party where I served a wine that I have been waiting to try, a 2012 Beaujolais Nouveau, as a welcome drink, and to go with appetizers. This wine is the first pressing of this years grapes (the second pressing of the same grapes is Beaujolais-Village Burgundy that I really liked) and it is a very light and fruity red wine.

With dinner wich was a fish casserole, I picked a white wine, 2010 Yellow Tail Chardonnay. This wine was very sweet, and didn’t go to well with the meal, but quite good by itself.

And of course there was Champagne at midnight New Years Eve. Alway great with some bubbles.

Happy New Year to all my followers! Lets make 2013 a great one! Cheers!
