Tonight I'm sipping on one of my favorite at home wines - a nice Sauvignon Blanc from Santa Barbara Winery. This white wine is easy to drink, has just a little bit of grassiness but not too much bite. I like having it around to pull out whenever I'd like a glass of wine after work.

Pinot Daze

Pinot Noir is one of my favorite varietals. Some of my favorites include David Bruce, Hanna, Cuvaison, and Saintsbury. And I liked Pinots even before Sideways came out and everyone jumped on the Pinot bandwagon.

Narrow Gate
Narrow Gate Vineyards makes one of my top 3 favorite Viogniers. The Viognier Roussanne is just perfect. Not too sweet, just a touch citrus and SO smooth. At $20 a bottle it is a bargain. Next time I'm in El Dorado County I think I'll buy a whole case. Last time I picked up 1/2 case and I'm finishing off the last of it tonight. I have 9 more months before I go back. Perhaps I should consider shipping.

WineTweets
I have Snooth over there on the sidebar for searches which I do enjoy. I want to spend more time building up my reviews but haven't had the time. I haven't spent a lot of time on Wine Enthusiast but it looks interesting. The WineTweet site is just a list of the tweets so you can read them even if you don't use Twitter.
