Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

TX-3 – NV; Locations Wine; Texas
This Texas Locations wine
series is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Carignan and a mix of other
Bordeaux reds with some Petite Sirah. McPherson Cellars from Lubbock had a
hand in crafting this wine. Letting this wine sit for about 45 minutes
really allows it to reveal the best qualities of this wine. The deep
purple-red color holds up well with little variation. You will initially
pick up notes of raspberries, plums, and some cranberries. There is some
pepperiness to it, but it is a smooth drinking red. This medium
bodied wine is a good well rounded representation of Texas High Plains wines
and offers a glimpse to the rest of the country and world of what Texas wines
are all about. Cheers!
