It's gonna get a little chilly this weekend - and nothing pairs better with cold weather than a big, hearty red wine. People absolutely LOVE really big wine. Wine that stains the teeth, enough alcohol to run your hybrid and thick jammy fruit. Well, we decided to go out and find some of the absolute biggest flavored wines that exist on the planet. Big grenache from Spain, gigantic Cabernet from Napa, and even some big Bordeaux from the amazing 2005 vintage. There are some wine writers that would describe these wines as "Hedonistic Thermonuclear Fruit Bombs" and that is exactly what these are...

Sooo - if you are looking to enjoy some really amazing wine this weekend, here are a few of the gems that we will have on the machine on Saturday:

2007 Alto Moncayo Aquilon
2007 Klinker Brick "Old Ghost" Zinfandel
2008 K Vintners "The Creator"
2008 T. Solomon Wellborn Pinot Noir
2005 Chateau Tour Haut Moulin
2006 Benjamin Romeo "Predicador"
2008 Orin Swift "The Prisoner"
2008 Giacomo Conterno Barbera


So, call your best friends, draw straws to see who's going to be the D.D. and bring everyone to the tasting! The wines are going to be AMAZING!!!
