WBW 15 Theme Announced
By Tim on Oct 10, 2005 in Wine Blogging Wednesday
Fatemeh from the food blog Gastronomie has posted the theme for the next Wine Blogging Wednesday coming up on November 2nd. Her challenge is to pick a wine that fewer than 250 cases were made. Hmm, I just received a bottle today that was from a batch of just 84 cases; perhaps this will be the choice? Or maybe I’ll visit Solo Vino to select an obscure bottle such as the Alsatian Pinot Noir from last week, who can tell? All I can say for sure is that the usual three bottles will be a supreme challenge.
Blacksmith Cellars 2001 Cabernet.
It only had 110 cases and was quite brilliant. If you can find it, try it. It’s (for lack of a better word) scrumptious.

Nord Estate Wines’ Green Island Pinot Noir. Almost always less than 250 cases.
Thanks for the tips, Leab. Maybe finding 3 will not be that much of a problem afterall…
Ledson 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
123 cases produced
If it’s available this is an exceptional Cab.

Here is something off the beaten path -
Karmère Winery
Shenandoah Valley California (Amador County)
Empress La Petite Morgan Nebbiolo
2003 126 CASES $15.00
Sold Out (no surpise with 126 cases !)
Since I’ve been enjoying your free podcast, I’ll donate the wine if
you’ll review it.
