Sorry, this has taken so long to get the wine and cheese information out from Tuesday’s class. I never got home until after 11:00 pm and have been out the last two nights after work until late.
Here is the list of great wines presented by our dear friend and all around nice guy Jeff Bryant.
- Gazela Vinho Verde – $5.99 – It’s light, fruity, refreshing, great for a graden party and you can’t argue with the price.
- 2004 – Montebuena Rioja – $8.99 – Medium red finishes silky and very easy to drink, with no rough edges. A great bargain in Rioja.
- 1998 – Montecillo Rioja Gran Reserva – $19.99 – Mature fruit aromas, complex and elegant, with notes of dark fruit, and full-bodied.
- 2004 – Quinta Do Vae Meao Meandro – $24.99 – This wine is big and young still needs sometime to age.  Someone at the table even said it reminded them of beef jerky.
- 1997 – Osborne vintagePort – $29.99 – Great port for the money and I’m not sure if you could lay this down until your really old, but a good number of years would be great.Â
The two cheese that we had were:
- English Stilton Blue Cheese – $12.99
- Manchego – $12.99 -Â sheep’s milk cheese made in the La Mancha region of Spain.
 All the wine came from our good friend Mike Fraiser at Total Wine and More. The cheese and bread both came from Calvert Woodley’s.
