The uniqueness of the Wine Attic is that we celebrate the great finds in quality wines without the big price tag. However, we do review allocation wines, those "can't find" wines that are highly rated and can pinch the pocketbook. What we do is find the best of the best for you. An educational experience can be had by joining our eclectic Wine Newsletter which brings you the 411 on wines of the world.The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.comBlogger184125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-30157656008153472562011-03-22T08:03:00.000-07:002011-03-22T08:03:26.546-07:00Mountain High Wines: 225 Sierra & Its Foothills Wineries: Growing in Nu...<a href="http://mountainhighwines.blogspot.com/2011/03/250-sierra-its-foothills-wineries.html?spref=bl">Mountain High Wines: 225 Sierra & Its Foothills Wineries: Growing in Nu...</a>: "In the summer of 2010, I spent months on the mountain roads of the Sierra and its Foothills, visiting 40-50 of the 225 wineries there. ..."The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-38240649264732422742011-03-07T13:28:00.000-08:002011-03-07T13:28:13.907-08:00Brides Daily Brides Daily: Brides.com<a href="http://www.brides.com/blogs/brides-daily">Brides Daily Brides Daily: Brides.com</a>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-9244921998138231872011-01-16T15:25:00.000-08:002011-01-16T15:25:40.773-08:00Restaurant and Wine ReviewI went to <i><b><a href="http://www.mochicasf.com/">Mochica Peruvian Restaurant</a></b></i> on Harrison St. in San Francisco last week because I am a member of OpenTable.com and bought a gift certificate for $25 worth $50. What a great way to explore restaurants that sound interesting. We had a variety of authentic Peruvian tapas with some great wines. What stood out the most was a great atmosphere, great presentation and great service. Don't miss the Costillita de Chancho ($12), pork spareribs glazed with the chef's BBQ sauce. With the tapas (small plates), we started with an Albarinofrom Rias Baixas, Spain, Laxas 2009 ($34). It was delicious, tangy with balanced acids which paired well with the Pulpito a la Parilla ($12), grilled baby octopus a la parilla with mashed potato and chimichurri. For an entree, I loved the Churrasco a la Parilla ($21) which is Natural feed NY steak with yucca fries. The yucca fries are to die for. We paired that with a Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina from <b><i>Bautista Simona 2008 </i></b><i>($30)</i>. It was full-bodied, nice fruit and a silky tannin finish. It was the most full-bodied Malbec I ever tasted. Overall, it is a great place to hang out, for parties and for an adventure. The wine list is selected by Chef/Owner Carlos Altamirano "with his food as a guide".

What was really apparent was the lack of knowledge that the service personnel had. Some, so young to as not even know some of the old historical drinks. Is that an excuse? No. If you want to be a professional Server, then why don't they study for it? After all, it only makes sense for the restaurant owner to provide training and/or employ persons that have the enthusiasm to pursue a professional career in the hospitality industry. Otherwise, forget it. Without that, the restaurant is losing money. A server should be aware of upselling.<br />
I was in a major hotel restaurant in San Francisco, and the server didn't even know what a gimlet was. Instead of saying "I'll find out" he said "oh that must be a new drink? And, I'm talking very nice hotel, SF MOMA restaurant. I was like, what? You need to get the Service and Sales for the Wine Professional book and read it. Wow!<br />
<br />
It's pathetic how the wine sommelier has gone by the wayside in this economy. If you are in hospitality and you don't know what your client is asking you, please say "I will find out for you" instead of saying something stupid. I would really appreciate it!The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-49401104553098971652010-12-09T06:36:00.000-08:002010-12-09T06:36:38.962-08:00Winemaker Challenge - An International Wine Competition<a href="http://www.winemakerchallenge.com/">Winemaker Challenge - An International Wine Competition</a>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-27204146939287563842010-09-22T16:48:00.000-07:002010-09-22T16:48:08.175-07:00Do Wine Tasting Skills Decline with Age? | Drinking Out Loud | News & F<a href="http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/43632">Do Wine Tasting Skills Decline with Age? | Drinking Out Loud | News &amp; F</a>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-82124075600117259132010-08-06T12:51:00.000-07:002010-08-06T12:51:25.502-07:00Wine Notes: Robert Hall Winery - Wine - SanLuisObispo.com<a href="http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2010/08/05/1241437/wine-notes-robert-hall-winery.html?storylink=addthis">Wine Notes: Robert Hall Winery - Wine - SanLuisObispo.com</a>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-47402988162284693402010-08-02T15:02:00.000-07:002010-08-02T15:14:50.052-07:00Meatball Contest<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjafDOZTA1G-nwFYlLNKNj2MF_OzHaUXMxo1e2DxL5jebWmfRD8ihZRUxYxyJP7dULfFm9ObyUAM9yTdnUM7FR6BMYWFoQDzRw11zfSuxXKGlzwxyZJVfjUnTdFEPNYevMbsOpvd5tRVeyz/s1600/meatball.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjafDOZTA1G-nwFYlLNKNj2MF_OzHaUXMxo1e2DxL5jebWmfRD8ihZRUxYxyJP7dULfFm9ObyUAM9yTdnUM7FR6BMYWFoQDzRw11zfSuxXKGlzwxyZJVfjUnTdFEPNYevMbsOpvd5tRVeyz/s200/meatball.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: black;">I don't w</span>ant to brag but I did win the meatball contest at Cameron Hughes Wine headquarters. I was running against a New Jersey Italian with roots south of Naples and a young hotshot Chef. I mixed a concoction of ingredients from my old Sicilian ancestors' recipes. Then made an awesome sauce to go with it; we call it gravy instead of sauce. Wine to go with this - Lot 161 is my favorite on <a href="http://www.chwine.com/">www.chwine.com</a>. It's a Meritage with 50% cab, 40% cab franc and 10% Merlot. I love this because the cab comes from a very expensive wine program and I love cab franc. A perfect match with this hearty, spicy, Sicilian sauce (gravy). I have to admit, the other meatball submission were good too. All the meatballs entries tasted different because of the different meats and ingredients used. Mine was 1/2 ground veal, 1/2 ground beef stuffed with a cube of smoked mozzarella.The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-57123706017767169952010-07-31T20:06:00.000-07:002010-07-31T20:06:05.076-07:002006 Steppe Cellars Artisima Red Wine Blend<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>I'm just tasting this delicious blend from Columbia Valley. I needed a red wine for a meatball cook off and while making the sauce, I saw that I did not have a chance yet to try the 2006 <i><b>Artisima </b></i>from Steppe Cellars. The bottle was given to me by Chris and Barb Cary from yakyakwine.com, a wine Blog from Yakima, to critique while I was attending the Wine Bloggers Conference in Walla Walla this past June. Five grapes, 33% Cab, 33% Merlot, 15% Malbec, 10% Petite Verdot, 5% Cab Franc, make this wine fruit forward with a nice smooth finish. Sweet chocolate cherry nose with a touch of tobacco, dark ripe cherry, cinnamon, blackberry on the palate, smooth finish with a little white pepper. Very nice. Drink now. The fruit is showing nicely and don't think it will improve with age. It is very drinkable now. <br />
<br />
So back to my meatball recipe, I only put in GOOD wine in my sauce. I thought the balanced fruit in this wine would compliment my sauce. I do want to win this. Never use inferior wine in recipes. Don't use what you wouldn't drink. <br />
<br />
So as 8 oz. goes into the pot I proceed to have the rest with dinner of roasted chicken and sauteed garlic, green onions and broccoli - it went well with the combination of herbs (flat leaf parsley and fresh sweet basil) and spices I used. After dinner, I still had some wine in my glass and enjoyed it with a few pieces of Almond Crunch. Now I wish I hadn't poured so much wine in the sauce!<br />
<br />
Columbia Valley is an interesting wine regions that needs more notoriety. The wines are exquisite from here. The terrior is different and unique which produces some of the finest wines that can compete with the best of regions. <br />
<br />

I love the cab franc in this wine. I think what is happening is the transport of this wine into your area has been poor as well as the storage. The wine is great, especially for the price. That is one of the biggest problems - the distribution variances really can hamper the quality of wine. So as far as the current product, sin transport, it is very high quality - nothing to do with the CHW quality standards. So if you get a bad bottle of CHWine, take it back for refund and complain about its transport care.</a></div>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-28485254443158221152010-07-23T10:27:00.000-07:002010-07-23T10:27:13.308-07:00Free the Grapes!: Will Massachusetts Finally Allow Wine Direct Shipping? | Business Wire<a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20100722006200&newsLang=en">Free the Grapes!: Will Massachusetts Finally Allow Wine Direct Shipping? | Business Wire</a>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-34658827046722206332010-06-22T10:30:00.000-07:002010-06-22T10:30:02.225-07:002007 Lot 172 Atlas Peak Cabernet Cameron Hughes<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">2010 RESULTS</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-tab-span"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> </span></span><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">Double Gold Medal</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> Cameron Hughes Wine 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, <b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">Lot 172</span></b>, Atlas Peak $22. <a href="http://www.chwine.com/" title="blocked::http://www.chwine.com/">www.chwine.com</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-tab-span"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> </span></span><b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">Gold Medal</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> Cameron Hughes Wine 2007 Meritage, <b><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;">Lot 161</span></b>, Sonoma $16. <a href="http://www.chwine.com/" title="blocked::http://www.chwine.com/">www.chwine.com</a></span></div>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-86070988676407562512010-06-16T16:20:00.000-07:002010-06-16T16:20:09.458-07:00Cameron Hughes Wine<a href="http://app.streamsend.com/private/AiE6/v4w/j6SSUBk/browse/11587731">Cameron Hughes Wine</a>The Wine Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14075176825203997570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759606192519184962.post-53288893543482332932010-06-11T16:49:00.000-07:002010-06-11T16:49:14.011-07:00Ch.

Hot summer, cherry blossom nose. You can even imagine bees humming in the air, fresh green grass under your toes. The wine has a dark purple rim, looks rich and full-bodied. Fruity, dark ripe cherry, blueberry on the palate. Earthy, tar from volcanic intrusion, oak on the long finish. Slight sediment. Wine will do well with a couple of years aging. Do not disturb this wine. Not necessary to decant. A delicious wine with food. Try with a fillet or any grilled meat with grilled pineapple.<br />

<div style="color: black;">Just released, the <a href="http://www.chwine.com/wine/lot/148">'08 Lot 148 </a>Char from Santa Barbara, nice creamy, butter on the nose and with its color golden, making it look rich, teasing us and letting us know that we are about to have a complex chardonnay. Very pleasant fruit on the palate, pear and banana. This wine is one that a traditional Napa (oaky, buttery) chardonnay drinker will love. Even though it is said to have slight ML, it does have enough to show butter but in contrast it has a balanced acidity resulting in a spicey finish, slight oak. Overall, this is a great wine for $13 bucks, as good or better than any $30 Napa chard. Great chardonnays come out of Santa Barbara. Lot 148 lives up to their high-end standards.</div><br />
The wine would be excellent with or without food. For the menu, this can be enjoyed with chicken alfredo as well as grilled wild salmon.<br />

What I mean by that is that is does have the smokey, delicate aroma and feel from Burgundy, yet the soft fruit berry forwardness of a wine from California. This is a fine wine, beautifully showcased in the glass by its perfect color. I can drink Pinot with most anything but my favorite would be a grilled wild salmon with fresh and spicey mango salsa and an aromatic, steamed Indian basmati rice. For the mango salsa, include a chopped a seeded jalepeno pepper and red bell pepper. The wine is available now for about $18. But it sells out fast - that's because most of the lots are small.

I missed the sign up for the wine tour on June 25. But I found a really great, customized tour person, Lori Fischer, who will take us to the best wineries in the area - 6 - 8 wineries for only $50/person. Are you going to be up in Walla Walla on June 24? I really want to go with her but I need more people to join the tour. I am going to the conference by myself. Thanks!! Here's Lori's contact info: Lori Fischer, Owner, The Fischer House<br />

Even when first opened, it is delicious. No need to decant. Fruit, fruit, fruit! This is better than any $50 Napa Merlot. Great structure. Fruit showing now, luscious plummy, cinnamon, hint of red licorice. Soft velvety tannins. This is certainly drink now wine. Aging may be for only 2-3 years - because it can't get any better than this. The soft oak finish is very nice. Only $15/bottle, this won't last long. I'm even drinking it with a grilled chicken deli sandwich loaded with red onions and olive tapenade on a French roll. Yummy! A great wine for parties, where this would be a definite crowd pleasing wine, with or without food. This is <u>really</u> an elegant wine.
