Schmitt Söhne Reisling

This would be a great wine if you don't care what the wine, or your food, taste like.

But it does comes in a cool blue bottle.

Riesling is real hit-or-miss with me as I can't stand sweet wines but my go-to riesling is Chateau Ste Michelle. The current vintage, 2009, is off-dry IMO but it's a damn good value and easy to drink. This is the white wine that I buy for my friends who aren't alcohol snobs.

Caymus 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon.

Intense flavors. Not as sweet as previous vintages. An incredible wine.

Bloom Pinot Noir 2005

At first, I was skeptical. 2005? This wasn't in the section of the wine rack with the nicer bottles, so I thought it had just been forgotten about, and we were about to enjoy a large bottle of vinegar.

Not bad. It's a light red wine. Not very strong, only 12.5%.

Lindeman's Bin 65 Chardonnay

Very floral. Fruity but not sweet. Best white I've had in a while. Didn't like it when it was it's coldest, better once it was just chilled slightly.
