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.

Merlot – 2000; Toasted Head Winery; Acampo, California
Look what jewel has been
uncovered! This delightful Merlot has stood the test of time. On the
nose, you will detect subtle earthiness followed by cherry and coffee notes. The
finish holds quite well for this medium bodied red wine. A bit dusty on the
palate, but still lots of character left to it. Surprisingly, little sediment
was found in the bottle. Quite pleased with this lost little gem found
hiding in the back of our wine vault and pleased that when uncorked and poured
it has held up remarkably well for its age. Pair it with your favorite hearty protein cuisine or
enjoy on its own, cheers to a great turn of the century bottle that made it
this far!
