The three girls and four wines evening.

Just because I own a wine importing company doesn't mean I don't drink other wines. I like to refer to it as broadening the horizons.

Here's what we tried:

1. Piping Shrike 2006 Shiraz Barossa Valley Australia
2. The Climber 2005 Red Wine Blend Oakville California
3. Insatiable Red Wine Blend Graton California
4. Parker Station 2007 Pinot Noir Santa Maria California

What we liked:

#1 Piping Shrike- An awesome, full-bodied, rich red. Your mouth and body feel good drinking it. Does anything else matter? This was the best Ausie Shiraz we have had in a while.

#2 Parker Station- Cherry fruit bomb and we were in the mood for it. IF you are not in the mood then I’d suggest…

#3 Insatiable Red- easy drinking, not much to it and by the time we got there we weren’t too concerned with the tasting anymore (It was the last bottle we “tasted”)

#4 The Climber- way too overpriced but we realize they have a niche market. I assumed the cork and foil were the major costs behind the $17 price.
