Future WinophileMeeting No. 2 of the Winophiles was held on Friday, April 6, 2007. Again, the unstoppable Winophiles, Adam and Mindy selected the winning bottle of red Rioja. Congratulations! Hopefully, if you keep winning, all Winophile members will be contributing to Laeney's college fund! Great work.
The following is link to a review of the Finca Valpiedra, Reserva 2001, from the Spanish wine website, http://www.aporvino.com/: http://www.aporvino.com/comprar_vino/finca-valpiedra-reserva-2001-p-1086.html. Basically, the review states that the aroma of the wine gives off a very fruity, toasty characteristics. On the palate, it is full and round with black fruit notes and has a long, persistent finish. For additional information, also see the Finca Valpiedra's website: http://www.bujanda.com/english/valpiedra/index.html.
The next meeting of the Winophiles will be on Friday, May 4, 2007 at 8:00 p.m. at Pete and Emily's home. Due to the fact that many club members will be out of town for the next meeting, the wine selection for the next meeting is any red wine that is produced in the United States. There are many great wine growing regions in our fine country, including areas in California, Oregon, Washington, etc. The Gallaghers will select the varietal/region for the June 2007 meeting. Until May 4, be well.
