Les Chenes - 2003 Syrah

this is a wine from a small winery in Livermore Valley in the SF bay area, so probably not available outside of this region. this winery makes wine in various French styles, and is worth a visit to check it out, since their wine is quite different than any of the other wineries in Livermore i've visited.

this 2003 Syrah tasted great at the winery, but i was really disappointed when i opened it 2 weeks later at home. after 1 glass, i capped it and thru it in the fridge. next day it was fantastic. i've got another bottle so i'll repost or update this after i've opened it.

Chateau Ste Michelle - Eroica Riesling 2006
