Campion Edna Valley Pinot Noir 2002
Thursday, November 22, 2007
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and hope that you had some good food and great wine today. With that in mind I will fill you on on what we served with our dinner. We had both a red and white for everyone and the red was a Campion Edna Valley Pinot Noir from California. Though not as heavy as an Oregon Pinot, the Campion holds up well and delivers a nice plump and earthy red. There is a bit of tannin on the finish and a hint of wood and spice creep thru. This is a $20 bottle and well worth it if you are looking for an easier drinking red but not too weak. This is definitely a wine I would buy again with no problems.

Our 2nd bottle was the 2006 Blackstar Farms Late Harvest Riesling, a great example of Michigan wines. This is a sweet and crisp white with hints of apricot. A wine like this will go well with any spicy dish or with an audience of non wine drinkers who prefer sweeter juice. Michigan does excel in the white wines and Rieslings stand out on top. This wine is great on its own or served with a simple dessert of fresh fruit. This wine can be found for about $16 a bottle.
