FEATURED WINE FROM THE ARCHIVE (June 26, 2013)

Lewis Perdue's Rating of Chateau Mont-Redon: Rhone Blend/Red Wine: Chateauneuf-du-Pape: : 2009: France

A damn fine Rhone with everything it's supposed to have and all in the right order all lined up on the palate. Prominent black cherry fruit, robust tannins and hints of oak. Lunch at Flavor in Santa Rosa with longtime friend and fellow troublemaker Bill McIver. Hard to believe this was two years ago!

 HEADS UP!

Lew is sick of wasting most of his wine dollars on stuff he pours down the drain.

Will Buy No Wine Before He's Tried 'Em

So, for now on, Lew is not going to buy anything he has not tasted first.

Lew doesn't get many tasting samples, so this new direction means that you will see an increase in the number of different wines he buys from a single winery.

You can click this link to check out Lewis Perdue’s misfit wine palate.

REVIEW POLICY:

The old review policy still holds -- For winery tasting samples, gifts from friends or family or samplings at a party or event, review it truthfully, but only if I like it. If I have paid my own very-hard-earned money on a bottle, the gloves are off and it gets what it deserves ... whether perfect or puerile.
