Chateau Ste. Michelle 2010 riesling Columbia Valley

If I was the type of person to store wine, this would be my white house wine.

Really? A Riesling? A riesling from Chateau Ste. Michelle? I find that......surprising. Really?

ETA: We had a bottle of Mark West Pinot Noir 2007. I love this wine. This would be MY house red. At least one of them, anyways.

Quilceda Creek 2008 Red Wine Columbia Valley

A Bordeaux blend of 81% Cab Sav, 13% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc, and 1% Malbec. One helluva entry-level wine. No matter how many shitty bottles of wine I drink just to try to get drunk, wines like this always remind me why I became interested in wine in the first place.

Last night we had a bottle of Le Touzinard Bordeaux. Not bad. Smooth-ish. We ended up drinking the whole bottle (which we rarely do). We took some time off from drinking wine over the last few months, but I'm sure that will pick up with the holidays coming.

Stonehedge Chardonnay

I mean, it was good. I appreciated the butteriness to it, and not so much sweetness. I don't know that I'd run back to the store to buy another bottle of it, though. There are better Chardonnays to be had at this price point (~$10)

Plunderhead Zin - 2007

Recently, these Lodi wines have really been impressing me. I don't know if it's the wine, or I'm not drinking enough of anything lately to notice quality. Really fabulous bottle of wine.
