Our "Scoring System"

A note about what our scores mean:
5 - Wine your kids buy for you
6 - Would drink. Jug wine. Good for parties and your kids!
7 and above - Good for ANYTHING. Would recommend to friends. The higher the better!

And for PAIRINGS the scores mean:
0 = Wine tastes best alone
1 = Wine tastes best with food #1
2 = Wine tastes best with food #2

About Me

My photo
This blog started because we needed a tenor in the church choir... Bob, Karen and I told Mike that if he joined the choir we would go out after practice every Thursday for drinks and appetizers. After a while we decided that it would be more fun (and less expensive!) to take turns hosting a "wine & cheese" night. Then Bob had the brilliant idea to "Taste the Vine" in alphabetical order. We started with Cabernet Sauvignon. The rules were simple: 1) The wine had to start with your designated letter, and 2) the bottle had to be covered up so we didn't know what we were drinking. I decided to write down our scores so that we would know which wines we liked the best....then was "forced" into writing a blog so that we could share our "finds" with our friends. So, enjoy!!

Thursday April 7, 2011
Hosted by Karen & Bob


  1. Estancia 2008 Paso Robles - Keyes Canyon Ranches
    Bob 7, Karen 8, Mike 8, Becky 8
    Karen: "Ooooh, does that smell good!"
    Becky: "Smells really good."
    Mike: "Smooth. No bitter after taste."
    Bob: "Bold."
    [Tony at Super Cellar suggested aluminum foil to cover the label. He likes the alphabet idea.]
    The first taste is the best. Not an eating wine.

  2. Earthquake 2008
    Bob 7, Karen 9, Mike 7, Becky 7
    Bob: "Ooooh. Velvet."
    Karen: "Wow! Is that amazing. If this tastes half as good as it smells...."
    [Tony said "Killer Cab" when Karen picked it out at the store]
    Becky: "Taste of vanilla, smooth."
    Karen: "Velvet"
    Becky: "I love the label!"
