Taste Along w/ Adam the Wine Guy # 22 - Indaba

Steen, Steen, Steen...hmmm, what the heck is a Steen, sounds like a guys last name who i went to high school or camp with when i was a kid or something..but really, its another name for Chenin Blanc..that wonderfully ripe and refreshing wine that you usually see from the Loire, but in S. Africa they are making wines that are really world class, i think they are doing their best jobs on Pinotage, and the Steen..its not soo well known, but, they have been making wine in S.Africa for centuries..this country is located about what was once 1/2 around the world before the Panama Canal, so all the sailors had to pass around the tip to S.Africa to continue the journey..it was here the Dutch settled, and while there they planted some of the first grapes in the southern hemisphere..so, the tradition is rich, figure they have a few hundred years of practice..

Taste Along w/ Adam the Wine Guy #16 - Chanier, rose

some wines are so delicious they remind me of candy for adults..this one is succulent, takes me back to times of jolly ranchers, bubble gum, and cotton candy..but its not overly sweet like your mama's white zin..and definately has a great drinking velocity..this one comes from the Loire, sorta located in the north central part of France..its the region with the highest concentration of chateau's and castles in the country..and really a relatively short tgv ride from paris..considered to be the valley of the kings the loire is like the bel air of france..but way more bel air, than bel air will ever be..

Taste Along w/ Adam the Wine Guy #13 - Caves des Papes, rose

sometimes a rose is just a rose..and other times a rose' is way better..in this case bring me a bottle of this any day, rather than a dozen of the others..this one is a classic style easy drinking summertime rhone rose..personally i love the combination of grapes and balance..and how can you beat the beautiful pink color, practically brings the blue out in any one's eyes..this wine drinks great with seafood, particularly shellfish..i prefer my pink with clams, oysters or mussels even..hope you enjoy as much as i do..with that combination it'll remind you of a great day the south of france..even if you've never gone..

yummy yummy the 2007, Caves des Papes, rose

Taste Along with Adam the Wine Guy #8 - Gassier, rose

"..summer's here and the time is right for drinking some rose'" ( sounds great when you've had a little and you sing it to the tune of "dancing in the streets") if someone writes a rose' wine song, i'll post it ..
and the time couldn't be better for a refreshing wine from the south of France, and the Gassier is a classic example..there is nothing better than being on the Mediterranean, and enjoying some rose' with some fresh mussels..yummm..don't let the pink fool you into thinking that this is your grandmother's white zinfandel..is wonderfully crisp and clean, with hints of minerality...such a good fun food wine, and really one that everyone can enjoy on a "hot august night"...hmmm, maybe there is an album title in that?...

gettin' down with the Gassier, Sables d'Azur, Rose, 2007

Taste Along with Adam the Wine Guy #7 - Kopke

Port, port, port...and we're not talking about the left side of a boat here, were talking that mysterious beverage from Portugal..Port, a fortified wine with a long history has many styles and variation within those..there are tawny's which have lighter and more caramel tones, ruby ports which are rich and unctuous with deep grape and brooding fruit notes and vintage ports which are only produced in the best years, usually no more than 5 vintages are declared in a decacde..so this juice is pretty precious..Kopke is the oldest producer of port on the planet goin all the way back to the mid-late 1600's..and recently i had a chance to taste their '57 which was absolutely amazing, almost etherial..this 2000 is excellent, showing signs of a bit of bottle age, and this juice will develop wonderfully in the bottle over the next 20+ years..

Taste Along with Adam the Wine Guy #2 - Santa Ema

..so a question i get all the time from people is something like "..whats a good cheap wine? or "if i dont want to spend a lot of money what wine should i buy?..". well, i think there is a ton of competition in the marketplace and this makes for really great pricing for the consumer..the choices are wide ranging, from grape varietal to region, where is a good place to get started?..i always say trust your service professional, the guy at the store, or your waitress is there to steer you in the right direction..and they can even help to keep you on budget as well...lately i think that some great values are coming out of spain, argentina and chile..when your at the bottle shop, check out one of these regions, grab a bottle, usually you can find something really good for around 15 bucks or so, so you dont have much to lose..buckle up, enjoy the adventure..


grab your glass and taste the Santa Ema, Reserve Cab. 2005
