FOOD & DRINK
Clos de Los Siete
by Adrian Bryksa
This wine is exciting with dark, inky deep purple tones to it. With the first sniffy sniff, there is a nice blackberry component poking through with some white pepper and a nice hint of toasted oak. To stand up to this wine, match it up with some hard, old Cheddar and biscuits.

Value Wine Experiment - 3 Reds under $15.00
by Adrian Bryksa
He pulled me over to an Australian blend which seemed interesting as a 2005 at 11 dollars, so I made it my choice. Ian grabbed a 2007 Chilean Cabernet and David jumped on an 2006 Argentine Malbec

Stark - Condé Syrah
by Adrian Bryksa
For the most part, I typically stay away from South African wines, for no good reason other than I haven't had one that has really excited me or blown me away. Maybe this Syrah will change that.

Caves Alianca Quinta dos Quatro Ventos Douro
by Adrian Bryksa
I immediately thought that this wine would be an excellent contender for the cellar as in my experience, they often are much better in a few years time when they have had a chance to mellow out in bottle.

Travaglini Gattinara Riserva
by Adrian Bryksa
Typically, this is a 90 + point rated wine from Wine Spectator. It is an excellent example of an outstanding medium bodied Nebbiolo from Northern Piedmont in Italy, delivering a slightly hard candy, floral bouquet with a orangish hue.
