Virtual Wine Tasting 18 - Bordeaux
Recorded 4/3 - We've finally come to the Mecca of wine, where Napoleon made France the beacon of viticulture and oenophilia....Bordeaux. Since there's such a bounty of wines from this region, it'd be tough to find the same wines in every store across the country. So this time it's going to be a little bit of show-and-tell and treasure hunt combined. I'm going to give 4 regions and the wine to get from it, it'll be up to you to find ones that meet the same standard
Wines:
Entre-Deux-Mers - Sauvignon Blanc or Bordeaux Blanc
Medoc - Bordeaux red blend
St. Emilion/Pomerol - Bordeaux red blend
Graves - Sauternes
Suggested pairings - herbed goat cheese, gorgonzola blue cheese, lamb, arugula with vinegarette

Virtual Wine Tasting 17 - Merlot
Recorded 3/13 - In 2004 the movie Sideways almost killed the Merlot business from one line and has been struggling to gain a large following like its Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir cousins. It's a grape that is grown worldwide, though typically used a a base with other grapes blended in to give it more character. In this tasting we find the varietal across the world and see just how different this wine tastes from various terriors.
Wine:
Chateau Montet Bordeaux Merlot
Eccentric Merlot
Wente Merlot Sandstone
Crossfork Creek Merlot Yakima
Pairings: Grilled beets, beef bourguignon, stuffed mushrooms, grape jelly lil smokies
