2010 Saracco Moscato D'Asti

These days, in most of my gatherings with my friends and colleagues, I will always bring a bottle of Moscato. The ladies love this wine. I called it my 7-up or sprite with alcohol. With a alcohol content of 5.5%, it is a good thirst quencher in a hot afternoon. It is sweet with hint of pineapple and apple.

2009 Christophe Vaudoisey Volnay 1er Cru Clos Des Chenes

This is a small winery located in Volnay, just opposite the little carpark when you enter the Volnay Village. The 2009 is burgundy red, on the nose, you can smell hint of strawberries and cherries. It tasted of cherries and plum on the mouth. Good lingering after taste, is has that exploding sensation when drank with red meat, in this case - pork. I have always find Christophe wine to have that fresh taste, very different from the other vitners. Pretty good value.

Tatiarra Cambrian Shiraz 2004

Dark red almost black. This wine packs with fruit and intensity. The wine evolves along the course of my dinner - from dark red fruit to full blown plum. The train of red fruits and plum just march down the throat with silky tannin. You will taste some spice. A great wine to keep your lady friends happy. At least my friends enjoyed the wine. Another Ben Riggs great creation.
