Our Michigan home was the first house we looked at, it just took 18 months to know it was right which should have been our first clue to our ability to turn the house  Here in Texas, we think we have the right home and because of market conditions were able to lease with the option to buy.
Russian Valley hmm, tell us more.
I enjoy really hearty reds. The best bottles it has been my pleasure to enjoy were Grange Estate from the Barossa Valley, Quintessa from St. Helena and Elderton Commander again from Barossa. Here in Fredericksburg,Texas the Becker Winery has a couple of very good reds in Raven and Reserve. They are affordable and all of 30 minutes from my front door. |
Brutal is a good description.
Russian River is gooooooooooood. I'm not one that can really pull out a lot of the details in a wine. I have friends that can, but I either like it or I don't and there are very inexpensive wines I can enjoy too. But Russian River in Napa has something to it. I can't describe it very well, but it is really smooth and flavorful. Not a fruit bomb or bold or even rich, but at least for me, just right. Some Russian River Pinots can get well out of range of what I'll pay for a bottle, but there are a few nice ones for under $20 or so. Bear Boat is one and Kenwood is another that are reasonably priced if you want to try one out. Those can be found at grocery stores with decent wine selections.
