Tasting Notes:</strong></p>
<p>Bodegas Osborne, &#8220;Solaz&#8221;, Merlot (65%) Tempranillo (35%), 2006 ($9) &#8211; Garnet in color with aromas of black cherry, white pepper, licorice and vanilla. Bold plum and black cherry fruit with black pepper finishing with just a hint of bell pepper and moderate tannins. A very nice table wine for under $10.</p>
<p>13.5% ABV<br />
Synthetic cork closure<br />

<p>Blackstone, Merlot, Sonoma Reserve 2007 ($20/sample) &#8211; Dark purple with aromas of black cherry, dark current and sage. Rich plum and dark cherry fruit with some mint finishing with supple tannins.</p>

<p>Raphael, Merlot, North Fork of Long Island 2001 ($25/750 ml/won in Menu for Hope raffle; tasted from 3L) &#8211; Deep garnet in color with aromas of black cherry, currant and mint. Rich black current and black cherry fruit with white pepper, bell pepper flavors finishing with moderate but well integrated tannins. Has structure for another 10 years in the cellar in this format. Outstanding Long Island Merlot that I would guess was from Bordeaux in a blind tasting.</p>

Neil from <a title="Neil's blog" href="http://brooklynguyloveswine.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Brooklynguyâ€™s Wine and Food Blog</a> came up with a great theme this month: &#8216;Silver&#8217; Burgundy. Instead of <em>investing</em> in a CÃ´te d&#8217;Or (&#8216;gold coast&#8217;) wine, we are drinking affordable Burgundy from <span style="font-size: 100%">the CÃ´te Chalonnaise</span> and the MÃ¢connais.</p>
<p align="left">Since I favor red wines this time of year, I selected a village wine from Mercurey made by the well known Faiveley family. Listen to the podcast for more details but here are my tasting notes:</p>
<p align="left"><a title="Buy this wine online" href="http://tinyurl.com/3b9mpj" target="_blank">J. Faiveley</a>, Domaine de la Croix Jacquelet, Mercurey 2003 ($20) &#8211; Deep ruby color with aromas of dark cherry, fennel and sage. Rich black cherry and raspberry fruit with a touch of earth finishing with firm tannins and good acidity. The bold fruit balances the tannins so I expect this wine to improve with a year or two more in the cellar. Alternatively, you could give it a couple hours in the decanter to open up before enjoying. A very good value in Pinot Noir.</p>
<p align="left">13% ABV<br />
Natural cork closure<br />
Score: 88<br />
<strong>Rating:</strong> 3.5 out of 5 stars</p>

		<itunes:summary>Another Wine Blogging Wednesday and this time I'm podcasting for the first time since WBW 23. Neil from Brooklynguyacirc;euro;trade;s Wine and Food Blog came up with a great theme this month: 'Silver' Burgundy. Instead of investing in a CAtilde;acute;te d'Or ('gold coast') wine, we are drinking affordable Burgundy from the CAtilde;acute;te Chalonnaise and the MAtilde;cent;connais.
Since I favor red wines this time of year, I selected a village wine from Mercurey made by the well known Faiveley family. Listen to the podcast for more details but here are my tasting notes:
J. Faiveley, Domaine de la Croix Jacquelet, Mercurey 2003 ($20) - Deep ruby color with aromas of dark cherry, fennel and sage. Rich black cherry and raspberry fruit with a touch of earth finishing with firm tannins and good acidity. The bold fruit balances the tannins so I expect this wine to improve with a year or two more in the cellar. Alternatively, you could give it a couple hours in the decanter to open up before enjoying. A very good value in Pinot Noir.

13% ABV
Natural cork closure
Score: 88
[rating: 3.5/5]

<p style="text-align: left">Tasting notes:</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Chase Family Cellars, Zinfandel, Hayne Vineyard 2004 ($45) &#8211;  Ruby-purple in color with aromas of raspberry, blackberry and spice. Ripe blackberry and black cherry fruit flavors with black pepper finishing elegant and very balanced with medium-firm tannins. A real fruit bomb but has enough structure for further aging.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Score: 91</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Chase Family Cellars, Zinfandel, Hayne Vineyard  &#8220;Reserve&#8221; 2004 ($75) &#8211; Dark purple in color with intense aromas of blackberry jam, raspberry and licorice. In the mouth, there is rich blackberry and black cherry fruit along with white pepper and spices finishing very smooth and long with well integrated tannins. Perhaps the best Zinfandel I&#8217;ve ever had. Only 100 cases produced.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another Quick Picks podcast celebrating both my birthday and the release of Beaujolais Nouveau today. My favorite from my tasting today is featured.</p>
<p>Louis Tete, Beaujolais Nouveau 2006 ($13) &#8211; Clear ruby/purple in color with aromas of strawberry, cherry and banana. In the mouth the wine is juicy with wild cherry and strawberry jam flavors finishing with good acidity and soft tannins. Textbook Nouveau from a reliable shipper. Drink with your Thanksgiving turkey and fixings.</p>
<p>12.5% ABV<br />
Natural cork closure<br />
Score: 82</p>
