WineRelease.com's October 15, 2010 Monthly Newsletter.
Greetings from WineRelease.com, now 1,663 winery listings strong!
I learned how to cook paella in Spain and my friend, Maribel, who taught me said "Neil, you need to make it 10 times before it will taste good".
Well I am cooking number seven tonight for my niece and her Cal Poly friends at my friends house in Cayucos.
We paired Selene's 2006 Dead Fred red wine with number six paella and it was delicious. The wine was powerful yet went well by bringing out the paprika spice of the paella.
Last night I cooked salmon on a cedar board and it turned out nice and smoky which paired well with our bottle of 2006 Maier Family Meritage Red Wine's coffee, chocolate and cherry nuances of the wine.
My wife and I had a great time at the Hestan wine event. We tasted thru their current and red barrel samples under big blue skies and warm temperatures.
A few weeks ago we met our new neighbors, Schatzi and Mike from Relic. They had us over to survey their future winery on Soda Canyon Road.
We also took a stagecoach trip at Krupp Brothers near the end of Soda Canyon Road. We rode on an authentic stagecoach thru their acres of vineyards atop Atlas Peak.
All in all it has been a great month full of fantastic wines and time with friends, both old and new.
And now, on to the wine...
