Jan. 7, 2008	Vine Cliff Merlot 2000 Vine Cliff Merlot 2000 Region: Napa Valley > Winery: Vine Cliff Variety: Merlot Though I'm not a huge merlot fan, this worked well enough.

Dec. 25, 2007	Belle Glos 2004 Belle Glos 2004 Region: Santa Barbara County > Winery: Belle Glos Variety: Rich, deep berry and spice notes up front. An almost unreal pleasure in the finish. Nicely balanced, the fruit hits the classic Pinot Noir sweet spot. Very much a favorite. I previously enjoyed the 2002 vintage and this continues the goodness. Quite something for the price. - 12/25/2007		5/5 Stars. 1 2 3 4 5
