wine notes

while in napa, we also hit a couple of vineyards for tastings - robert sinskey and cardinale. incidentally, while at the bookstore a couple days ago, i came upon a cookbook by robert sinskey's wife - the vineyard cookbook. i think i've finally developed some opinions about wine i do and don't like. i think my favorite really is cabernet sauvignon, and i'm not really a fan of merlot, though sometimes it can be okay. i really don't like pinot noir, however, and i'm not a fan of chardonnay. for whites, i do like white bordeaux and gewurtztraminer, but not much else. i can't remember what we had at alinea, but i liked the malbec a lot. i liked the gewurtztraminer that jessica's parents had at french laundry better than the one nora and i had at alinea.
