COMMENTARY

Well, since it has been a while since my last post, I thought I should make a couple of comments. First, I have been tied up a bit and it has been difficult to get some time to post. Also, I am a bit behind in addressing my list of wines. Fortunately, I have not let my tardiness interfere with my schedule of DRINKING the wines, just writing about them! Anyway, I hope to do at least a couple of more over the next couple of weeks.

For your information, I have found a tempranillo (2001 by Raimat) that was recommended by a friend. I will write about that one shortly. I may jump the “Coming Soon” list since that was a friend’s recommendation. I also plan to try a New York Finger Lakes region wine recommended by another friend. And, last Sunday I had a taste of a Newport Winery wine from Rhode Island that I intend to write about when I get the chance also.

One last comment: I previously have raved about the Bolla Chianti. I also have said that I never noticed a wine having been affected by cork taint. Well, my most recent bottle of Bolla Chianti may have been affected because it does not have the same great taste that I enjoy so much. I can’t tell if it is just a bad batch or if it has cork taint. Given the apparent widespread nature of the malady, I suspect it may be the latter.
