Barnett Family Wine Tasting - April 15th

We tasted a few wines from the Barnett Family because the distributor asked us to host a wine tasting dinner. We have always liked their wines, but they tend to run a little pricey, so we do not carry that much at the restaurant. My notes below do not describe the wines, nor list them, but are verbatim my tasting notes to give you an idea of how we start with ideas for our wine tasting dinners.

savoy vineyard chard - dry, a little oak - eggplant napoleon?
pinot - scallop, risotto, parsley coulis - bacon?
merlot - tough - pork tenderloin? duck breast with creamed spinach w/ bacon risotto fritter
cab - pot roast - asian style short rib
estate cab - cherry chewy - sweet fusalage - Pepe like

So there you go! An insight into our minds for our tastings!

I will post the list of wines plus the pairings once they are finalized.
