Traveling Light Relay

While I’m at it, I guess I should just keeping blogging. Who knows how long I can keep this up, before another long drought of silence (in my blog of course)

GINI 13 was taken place on July 14, 2007. It was the second time for us GINI group trying Cabernet Sauvignon. Andrew is the host this time, and he prepared us some snacks to go with wine. The snacks were an interesting mix: cheese and crackers, and a few Chinese dishes like chicken feet, pig’s trotters (took me awhile to find the English name), and vegetarian fake meat (mostly bean curds). Interesting to go with Cabernet Sauvignon, I have to say. Anyway, here are the red wines:

1. Leeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 (Margaret River, Australia)
2. Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 (Napa Valley)
3. Sterling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 (Napa Valley)
4. Ernest & Julio Gallo Stefani Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 (Sonoma County)

As usual, Andrew has posted tasting notes of the wine we tried in his SeaTourist blog. I am also posting more information of the wine in my Flickr pictures. For the wines in this tasting, here is the link. Following is the voting results for our favorite in this tasting.
