The...Rosemount was long my frontline sluggable red. The Cab/Shiraz was my winter wine, and the Cab/Grenache was my summer one. Things have changed a bit. I feel like their blends have decreased in quality somewhat, but I'll put their straight shiraz up against a lot of other wines. <BR/><BR/>As for the findings about the "Charles Shaw," I guess I have a basis for a column in and of itself!Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11196146440395316085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809593.post-31974604415651787152007-07-12T18:04:00.000-04:002007-07-12T18:04:00.000-04:00http://www.napavalleyregister.com/articles/2007/07...http://www.napavalleyregister.com/articles/2007/07/01/features/food_and_wine/doc4684875e0c50f434254801.txtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809593.post-36680096544062504592007-07-12T18:01:00.000-04:002007-07-12T18:01:00.000-04:00Off the subject of your post... but I just saw on ...Off the subject of your post... but I just saw on the news that Two-Buck Chuck has been named best Chardonnay of the year out in California.

It was excellent! My only problem - I have to special order it, or hope the New Hampshire State Liquor store happens to be carrying it. I've only found it there twice :( I unfortunately can finish a bottle on my own in one sitting... I don't like to share it!<BR/><BR/>The Rosemount Shiraz/Cab blend isn't too bad either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
