Sorry we’ve been a little quiet here, but we have good reason! We were married on May 15, 2010 and have taken a brief hiatus (from blogging, not wine drinking) to enjoy the festivities with our families and friends in Indiana and Seattle. Look for more wine posts soon!

We were gifted the 2006 Foundary Vineyards Red Wine from Amanda’s employers who spoke highly of it and thought it was worth a review. It certainly was! I don’t know if I would have picked it up off of the shelf considering its uber-modern, minimalistic label so I’m glad it came to us by recommendation. This Walla Walla wine rocks.
We ran it through our Vinturi aerator (our new standard for wine drinking) and really enjoyed the medium body and robust cherry flavors. If only we knew the blend!
Smells like: Pepper, earthy soil
Tastes like: Cherries at the front, rose at the back
Review: 4.25 corks
Price: $18

We have enjoyed several bottles of the Kennedy Shah Merlot from Woodhouse Family Cellars and thought it was about time to make a review out of one. It’s a great value for the price. Also, we ran the wine through my new Vinturi Aerator and it really helped increase the nose of the wine.
Smells like: Plums, berries, oak
Tastes like: Nice, fruity Merlot. Plums and sweet cherries with a bite of pepper
Review: 3.75 corks
Price: $10.

Episode 30 already! That’s 30 bottles of wine, people. We are pleased to present our first guest reviewer: Paolo’s mom, Vicki! She brought over a lovely 2005 Fries Family Cellars Duck Pond Merlot that we really enjoyed. The winery is actually in Oregon but the grapes are from Columbia Valley.
Smells like: Evergreen trees, dark berries
Tastes like: A darn smooth wine. Nice pepper finish to complement blackberry and raspberry flavors.
Review: 4.25 corks
Price: $12-15. Amanda says she’s seen it as low as $8.

Sometimes we get a little silly, but wine does that to you! We enjoyed this velvety, sweet Merlot from Columbia Crest. Notes of oak and chocolate on the finish.
On a side note, we are trying to narrow our scope so we’ll be focusing more and more on Washington wines… Be on the lookout!
Smells like: Something a little sweet but also earthy
Tastes like: Blackberries, oak, chocolate
Review: 3.75 corks
Price: $15
