in Vino Veritas

(I always find it amusing when that's quoted in English)

So we hit up Sonoma last night (I'm fascinated with their tap system) and stumbled across the most marvelous "round, long finísh, full body reds": from bin 42 TRUTH “lindsey’s cuvee” 05- cabernet sauvignon : syrah : petit verdot - california.  Very tasty.  The quintessential red, in my mind.

We also had a bit of the "hudson valley camembert, new york, creamy, soft, sweet, milky" which was suPERb.  The waiter asked if we were into something "a bit funkier" and this was his recommendation; although, I've met funky cheese, and I didn't consider this one.  Anyway, we will certainly be popping by Cowgirl Creamery to pick up something along these lines again.

Last week J brought home some Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss Bier, which I absolutely love.  He also picked up their Sunset Wheat which neither of us had tasted before.  It has a surprising amount of blueberry flavor, but not sweet or "fruity", and we both now love it.  We will certainly be adding them to the "favorite brewer" list, and sampling all they have to offer.  (I particularly appreciate the food pairings they suggest with each beer on their website; nice!)
