Oddities

It's been an interesting time since the last post. There's snow in the mountains and leaves on the roads. There's also an empty bottle of Kungfu Girl Riesling on the table. It's definitely worth the $12 it sells for. Even though when I tasted it in the K Vintners tasting room it couldn't stand up to the Viognier, but then again, not many whites do.

The Riesling actually may have overwhelmed the salmon, but I really don't care. The wine was good and the food was good, and that's all that matters. Last night at the election party two bottles of Domaine St Michelle Blanc de Noirs were consumed. I really see no reason to not drink sparkling wine everynight. I'm thinking about hosting a party with some bubbly while playing this classic 80's masterpiece on repeat.

A few minutes ago, I should mention, I went ahead and inoculated the Carmenere with malolactic bacteria. Oh, not like anyone reads this but I'm going to be pouring College Cellars wines at the Tri-Cities Wine Festival this Saturday, which should be a fun time. I love serving drunk people at hotels.

Procastination and Bandol

Last night I went to dinner at Saffron, one of the most highly known restaurants in Walla Walla. The food was actually quite amazing and the wine was just as good. It was a 2004 Bandol from something Tempier (I'm not good with producer names). It was quite tasty though, very full bodied, and just delicious.

Bandol is a region in Provence, France. The red wines must be at least 50% Mouvedre and no more than 15% combination of Syrah and Carignan. Confusing rules but awesome wine.

Currently rather than finishing my unfinished and late Irrigation homework, I'm cleaning my entire apartment down to my armpit hairs. This is actually a much more fun and rewarding activity. There are reasons for this though, and maybe I'll delve into them when I'm in the mood.

For now my major predicament in life lies in fish. What should I season the salmon with and with which wine shall it be consumed? The answer lies within.
