‘K’ Night at Mike & Becky’s

Our category is “European Red Wines”, but we had trouble finding ‘K’s. So, since many Europeans moved to these countries......

1. Kindzmarauli 2006 Kakheti, Georgia    $14.99
   Bob: “It either smells really good or I was really in the mood for wine.”
   Mike: “Tastes good. Sweet.”
   Jess: “Wicked sweet.”
   Becky: “Oh. That is a different taste, isn’t it?”
   Karen: “It’s really sweet. My brother would like this one!”
   Jess: “Cranberry-ish.”
   Becky: “I can’t put a name on that taste.”
   Bob: “It’s a ‘Bob’ taste because it tastes good.”
   Sean: “Fruity with a little vinegar.”
   Sean: “I don’t know if I like this or not!”
   Karen: “I can tell you I don’t like it.”
   Sean: “Then I have to like it.”
   Bob 6 (was a 7.5 before the 2^nd glass that had a lot of sediment), Karen 2, Mike 7, Becky 5, Jess 6.5, Sean 6.5
   
   
   
2. Kanonkop Kadette 2009 South Africa   $15.94
   Karen: “This is better.”
   Bob: “Hmmm. Interesting. It’s starting as a 2 – it will have to work its way up.”
   Bob: “Not good after a grape. Becky, were you setting me up?”
   Becky: “I’m not really liking this one. But it’s not sweet.”
   Mike: “Three K’s and you’re out!”
   Becky: “Good after muenster.”
   Karen to Mike: “You have to stop going overboard the night before wine night.”
   Mike: “Damn.”
   Bob 6, Karen 7, Mike 6, Becky 6, Jess 7 with muenster cheese
   
   
   
3. Korta 2007 Gran Reserva – Lontue Valley Sagrada Familia. Chile  $14.99
   Karen: “Ewww” (her face said it all)
   Jess: “Did we strike out?”
   Karen: “This isn’t European, is it?” (No…It’s Europoopin)
   Jess: “I like it. It’s not that bad. I don’t think the cheese makes a difference.”
   Bob: “Bitter.”
   Mike: “It has a bite.”
   Bob 5, Karen 1, Mike 5, Becky 5, Jess 5
