Anthony Quinn I'M LETTING MY ARTISTIC side =part of me FLOWER : it is summer, after all, cheers and enjoy. I can't wait to try these wines. I LOVED the 2012 wines that I did try last year in late June, 2012 in and around Bento Galcalves, Vale Dos Vinhedos, and Caxia...See More




I ADDED this on just now and I meant to put it on a separate blog entry. Sorry!  This is about the BOORDY VINEYARD wines in Hydes. Maryland. ...

I'm having so much fun copying and pasting and making my life so much easier these days. I know that the result is a little bit like a frantic, erratic, zagged and mixed tapestry but I think it's more spontaneous, too. Hope you do not mind.

I do want to include some more information here for you all to read and ponder and hopefully enjoy.

Michel Dumas and I also tasted the 1) Chardonnay,  the  2) Seyval Blanc and the  3) dry rose.

 On this tasting our favorite for now and this horribly hot weather was the dry rose. It had it all : brightness, freshness, easy to drink with or without a meal.

The 2011 Chardonnay coming from a difficult vintage had something in the finish that I did not like so well. It had some oak that grew stronger with the wine being open in the bottle. By the time I got it home and drank some the next day with my wife that likes white wines it was a bit too strong in oak for me, or just at that edge for me.

The Seyval Blanc was quite nice but it's about to be done for this vintage so we will have to see what the next batch which will be from fruit added from Pennsylvania will be like? More on that later.

The wines are solid and well-balanced and getting stronger and stronger as the new vines mature. With Lucie Morton's help Rob DeFord uprooted now for a third time his vines and is starting fresh all over again. I like that spirit. What Susan said was that when Rob told Lucie his initial response to planting " new " vines he said : " absolutely not ", that Lucie responded : " well then I guess you do not need my help ".  The rest is history and now it just is a matter of waiting to see " what we can see " , that's what I just added here.

I can't wait to see you Rob again after so many years. I can't wait to have you come to our store and do another wine-tasting for us since your last one was in 1985 or 1986 I believe when I managed Burka's Fine Wines?

Cheers and stay-tuned for more.   Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn   7/22/13  4:44PM now! Like that, 3 fours!   TONY
