This was drinkable all by itself,  I have another bottle I’m looking forward to drinking Memorial Day weekend with some friends.  If you want to pair it with something, I could see this being very good with chicken or pork.  Pretty much anything that a pinot noir would pair well with.   For the price it was not a bad French bottle, but I think there are better priced wines with less adieu. Of course,  if you are going for the experience and not 3 months late,  then rock out with this one.

Winery of Zeni!

We go to a wine tasting every Saturday, which is a wonderful tradition we have started. On this trip on February 16, 2008, we tried this wine and I loved it so much we purchased 2 bottles. Which may not sound like much but this is a rarity for us. We like to purchase different bottles instead of more then one of the same.

Tonight we are trying this wine, as our usual Saturday nights go, with a variety of cheeses. We have also started throwing some bread and olive oil with spices into the mix. This is my opinions on what we are eating. Mind you, today one of the employees where we go for the tasting said that I go on my emotions when I try wine. You’ll find more out in my bio, but yes, I’m sorry if it is not a precise description of flavors and tastes. This will be more of a general dislike or like, maybe even some fun thoughts

This bottle is $10.99 where we purchased it at the Joe Canal’s in West Deptford, NJ. We are drinking this bottle tonight March 1, 2008.

Mozzerela Cheese w/ Whole Milk: Yummy!

Laughing Cow Light Swiss flavored Garlic and Herb: Favorite with this wine.

Sharp Spreadable Cheddar Cheese: Really dislike. Which is odd because it is one of my favorite cheeses. But with this wine it makes it taste stinky.

Bonbell- Ok seriously, again, I like this cheese in general. But with this wine, it to me is just awful! Sorry Bonbell!

Wise Pride Port Wine Spreadable: Calming. Soothing. Really don’t like or dislike. It just is.

Laughing Cow Light Swiss Flavored French Onion: Almost if not just as good as the garlic and herb. Very very enjoyable! Makes my tastes buds say “More More… I want More!”

Connoisseur Asiago Cheese Spread: I don’t care for this cheese in general personally. But With this wine I like it better then I normally do.

Goes well with the French Loaf and Sicilian seasoning. I like to put a little butter on the bread as well… yummmmmm…. bread and I get along very well. But this wine goes well with this. Quite an enjoyable experience.

So all that said. Overall, I am extremely glad we bought 2 bottles. I told modF, that this is going to be my “me night” wine. It is completely delicious to drink alone or with food. Also it just gives me a good feeling from the inside out. I definitely suggest picking up a bottle and having some fun with it!
