Snooth

I registered for Snooth, a new wine recommendation and social network engine. So far I have only rated 6 wines but I already have 40 recommendations. This leads me to believe that the engine is working, however, I won’t know for certain until I actually purchase and drink one of the recommended wines on the list. If you like wines I think it’s a pretty cool option for exploration and discovery of new bottles. If you do join, friend me!

I tried, to no avail, to incorporate their widget to my blog. Either their code is not working or I am doing something wrong.

I’m going to take this opportunity to rate two more wines as well. I had a 1975 (nineteen seventy five is the name of the winery) Amber Knolls Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004. It was great! Recommended by the sommelier, the wine was very smooth and easy to drink, a little spicy, and basically the best wine I have had in a while.

Tonight I accompanied my dinner with a Castano Solanera Vinas Viejas Yecla 2004. While not as good as the 75 I liked this wine. It’s a strong combination of three varietals that could do with another year of cellaring. It goes very well with strong salty cheeses or Mediterranean tapas. Ohh, I love tapas!
