Wine number 18 of the year comes from California, the 2008 T-Vine Grenache. I have had this wine several times, in restaurants and at home, but it has been almost a year since last consumed.
I pulled this up from my cellar, took a taste and was immediately transported back to the first time I had this wine at Annabelle’s Bistro in San Francisco. It is just delicious.
Since I am a nice guy, I poured some for my wife and her immediate reaction was “Where have you been hiding this?”.
Clearly this is one of my favorite wines for a number of reasons. Elegant, smooth, sweet and delicious. It is a fruit bomb and very different from some of the old world Grenache based wines, but it remains a winner.
