Vinismo is an ambitious and attractive site -- I hope to get visiting with more frequency soon. <BR/><BR/>Andrew, your WBW was such a hit, right down to the classy 7 word replies to each participant.<BR/><BR/>David, an acrostic review too?

It is so hard to come up with meaning and unique description of a wine in just 7 words, no more and no less.RougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-62933536376339614992008-02-15T17:12:00.000-05:002008-02-15T17:12:00.000-05:00Mine's shorter, Marcus!

It seems to me that Barbera -- a rustic, often abrasive, frequently light-bodied varietal -- stands to gain a lot from oak's softening tannins and smoothing vanilla."<BR/><BR/>I really thought the 04 was done in stainless steel. The 05 clearly isn't and immediately I preferred it. Didn't taste them back to back of course, so I'm sure there are other differences but this is the one that really struck me.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-33596033967708582622008-02-14T08:44:00.000-05:002008-02-14T08:44:00.000-05:00Nice one!!
