Las Rocas Garnacha 2009

I am giving this a special mention because I going this at Costco. I enjoy Grenache or Garnacha, though I am still learning about what makes them tick.

Bottom line: Buy two: one for you and one for your friend.

Red Diamond Merlot 2009

Holy crap. Washington State? Yep. Believe it sister. There is a blend called CMS which I enjoy, also from Washington.

I know Merlot is not as well thought of as Cab or Pinot in terms of its complexity. And maybe it isn't a sophisticated blonde, complex, layered, a lawyer with a troubled past and promising future of ambition and intrigue. Maybe it is just that crazy brunette, wild, crazy into you, wants to talk all night, enjoys sexting.

Bottom line: I'm ready, Washington State, for you to show me...everything.
