As the clocks have changed and its not stopped raining, it truly feels like winter. My choices therefore might have something to do with thoughts of sunshine and keeping warm. I might also be playing save on my first outing at sticking to what I know. Hopefully these two reds will not disappoint and help keep the wintery thoughts at bay.
The first is from South Africa, a Stormhoek 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon. I chose this as I usually enjoy South African wine. It also had its website on the front of the label (www.stormhoek.com); so in the spirit of a virtual community, I thought I would check out the site and see if the wine lives up the makers’ claims.
The second participant is a nice looking young (2008) Italian from the Villa Lucia vineyard - D.O.C. Chianti Colli Senesi. No website this time but I will see what Google comes up with.
I have created discussion groups on my Facebook page for each wine. If you have tasted the wines too, then please let me know your thoughts.
