07 Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling (Columbia Valley): Long on the citrus & apricot. Awkward mid-palate, but don’t moan too much at this price.
06 Whitehaven Pinot Noir (Marlborough, NZ): Wasy-drinking w/ intense red berry, smooth tannin & minerals. Exactly what a kiwi red should be.
07 The Crusher Wilson Vineyard Viognier (Clarksburg): Notes of honey & flowers help to offset the flab & make it a decent value for the $.
06 Michael David Gluttony Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi, CA): This wine is Godzilla. You are Japan!!! Prepare for total destruction!
