My husband and I LOVE wine. We have been drinking wine socially for years and for quite some time had no idea what differentiated good wines from the great ones. Especially when your first experience is Strawberry flavored Boone's Farm, which my parents still swear by to this day!
My husband, working in the restaurant industry, has been exposed to various brands and varieties over the years which really helped to develop our palate and knowledge...not to mention, gets us free booze! We love learning about the different varietals and expanding our palate.
We recently got into Wine Library TV with Gary VAY-NER-CHUCK! Whom we love, he is so wacky, you can't help but be fascinated!!! Anyhoo, he recently interviewed Nick Goldschmidt, who is equally fascinating and witty. They had great chemistry and the reviews on the wine he produced, made quite the impression on us. We absolutely had to see what it was about.
So my husband managed to get a case of the Goldschmidt Vineyard, oakville cabernet 2006 and it was WOW! Amazing nose and unbelievably smooth from start to finish. I was blown away! So this is what expensive wine tastes like, hmmmm!
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good red, because this is a MUST have. Hopefully someday we can get ourselves to Napa, it would be such a treat.
