(June 6, 2017) … I always take a number of bottles to the judging of the All Canadian Wine Championships, and usually stuff that is non-Canadian, just for a change of pace. Today’s offerings were Bordeaux and Washington:
Chateau Grand Maison 2006 Cuvee Speciale Cotes de Bourg – Bordeaux … A little dusty and chalky but with an element of dried fruit and woodsiness – it sounds old and tired but it was still better than the Washington wine … a Snoqualmie 2007 Whistle Stop Red Cabernet / Merlot … because it was corked.
