Wines of the Week

Last week was a week of Wine Spectator top 100 wines. The Castello D'Albola Chianti Classico 2007 is a very good wine. Light, fruity with that chianti taste. I bought it for about $13. #47 in the 2010 top 100.

# 48 is the Mumm Napa sparkling wine NV. Dry, balanced, lots of bubbles. Enjoyed it alot with my classic lobster dinner. Paid about $17 for the bottle.

Rondel cava NV. Nice, fruity cava. Enjoyed with ravioli. I have a sweet spot for any cava from St Sadurni D'Anoia, a small town near Barcelona where a great deal of cava is made. We visited there a few years ago and had a great day. We visited the Codorniu winery and had a fabulous tour.

Bodegas Ondarre 2004 rioja reserva. #58. I love riojas and this bottle is light and fruity.
