This weekend’s podcast is focused on the, “Big 3 Reds”: Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon presented in the “virtual tasting” format. I also try to match wine to a St. Patrick’s Day menu of corned beef and cabbage and announce a Minnesota wine tasting meetup on June 11th.
Wines tasted:
– Meridian Vineyards, Central Coast, Pinot Noir 2003 ($9)
– Columbia Crest, “Grand Estates”, Merlot 2001 ($12)
– Clos du Val, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 ($25)
