Robert Sinskey Vineyards
First to recommend
Description
I drink a lot of wine, I mean A LOT. A friend of mine gave me a bottle of 2001 Robert Sinskey Vandal Vineyard Pinot Noir and I stashed it away not thinking much of it. For some reason, I didn't have a high opinion of Robert Sinskey Vineyards (RSV), not that I ever had any of their wines. As I read the label, I learned that RSV is an organic wine made via sustainable agricultural practices. So I went to their site and learned about the committment to sustainable farming and that it is one of the few certified organic wines. If you know wine, you will know there are very few organic wines.
Vandal Vineyards is one of six organic vineyards at RSV. The wine is a cool climate Pinot made from the Pommard Clone. The 2001 I had is very Burgundian in style. It is medium ruby red in color. Dark cherry fruits on the palate, very clean, good minerality and earth. A very balanced Pinot, not what you would expect from Napa. Oh and it is organic. It ain't cheap, but it is very well made. Go give it a try.

I guarantee you that if you try this wine, you will LOVE it....I had this the last time I was in New York at my friend Carrie's house and I thought it was so cute! Not only is the wine really good, but on the back of the bottle it says bitch like 30 times and at the end it says bitch some more! Classic...

I covet this blender. You can make sauces, soups, smoothies and other healthy concoctions. Alas, it costs about $500 (why I don't own one yet).

I was fortunate to have Suzanne Goin sign my copy at the 3rd St. Farmer's market when the book first came out a few years back. This is a great cook book in the style of Lucques cuisine - fresh mediteranean. My wife has made numerous recepes, the Almond Cake is a house favorite.

2006 Melville Estate Pinot Noir – Verna's Vineyard

Description
Melville makes great terroir driven wines just north of Santa Barbara in Lompoc. Their focus is Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay and represent great value for the quality. I especially enjoy the clean style of the Pinot Noir's, definitively Californian with pure fruit, but not over the top.
