Nob Nob Vineyards-Pinot Noir-Vin De Pays-France-2007-$8.99-A funky artificial nose of perfume

and grape kool aid, dark for a Pinot.   A classic spiter, you take a taste and spit it out.  One of the

most awful tasting wines I have ever tried, first of, any Pinot from France worth drinking is called a

Burgundy, this was a bad wine chemical experiment gone wrong.  Should of spent more money on

making the wine than on the good looking label.      NR       CR-0-1      Good with any food to

make the bad taste go away.

Russian Riverbend Vineyards-Sonoma Loeb-Chardonnay-Sonoma County-California-2007-

$17.99-A nose of spice and citrus, golden in color.  A rich, smooth drinking Chard, spice, lemon,

buttery toast, enjoyable and well worth the money.       NR       CR-4.5      Good with cheese,

seafood, salads.
