Sheri and I were honored to be invited to Steve Maxood&#8217;s Birthday celebration at Wild Ginger Restaurant last Friday night. Steve&#8217;s parties are somewhat legendary amongst my wine friends and he certainly did not disappoint. We prepared for an evening of heavy pouring by checking into the Sherton Hotel just a few blocks from the [...]]]></description>

Finding this wine was purely coincidental and I would have to thank Scott Tracy at La Toque for pairing the 2006 Keplinger Red Slope Grenache with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday on twitter, @Williger asked for recommendations for tempranillo. This made me realize that even though I&#8217;ve been on this Spanish wine kick for the last few weeks, I haven&#8217;t had the opportunity to taste very many different ones including many New World tempranillos, but I already have distinct opinions and some favorites.

Mouvèdre is generally blended with other types of grapes so I was surprised to see it [...]]]></description>
