TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

Lewis Perdue's Rating of Caymus Vineyards: Zinfandel: Napa Valley - California: : 2013:

Mellow, big but balanced and well-behaved, a little dust, some black pepper and nice black cherries balanced with tannins. A real palate pleaser. Tasted today at the Allied Grape Growers annual meeting lunch in Santa Rose. $38 suggested retail.

 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.
