Taste Along w/ Adam the Wine Guy # 23 - Frias Merlot

Yummy..y'know Merlot got a bad rap a few years ago and sales tumbled..but the growers kept on pluggin away and the winemakers kept on making some great juice..this Frias is no flabby Merlot..its a big boy, balance with depth that a Cab. drinker would love..ive found that napa is the best place for growing merlot in california..you get such rich and round styles, that are reminiscent of their French cousins in Bordeaux, but with layers of fruit that the old world just cant compare..

Grill up a ribeye and enjoy some of this Frias 2005, Napa, Merlot

Taste Along w/ Adam the Wine Guy #21 - Incognito

..these guys are making really cool wines in an up and coming wine growing region right here in Cali..Lodi...hmmm, Lodi you ask, where is that?..well its up north just east of the farthest reaches of the san francisco bay..generally i expect the wines from here to be big and fruity and this Incognito is no exception..although i wouldn't give it quite over the top..this one as well is a real crowd pleaser, many palate's will be satiated with a good mouthful of this juice..

The 2006, Incognito, white, from Lodi, really explodes
