My friend Carl will be taking us on a Boat Cruise for today!!!

Carl is hosting events on his Boat, we will all meet @ tantalum for a drinks and some appetizers and then we will be going out on a short Cruise with him around the Harbor, We will be taking 10 people at a time and come back for the others; this will cost you $15 a person to cover the cost of his time and Gas…we will be doing short cruises for a while and then we will be doing a Catalina Cruise ones a month after that.

You may just come and join us for a drink and appetizers only.

So we need to know how many people will be interested in going to those cruises so we can plan as needed.

Due to close proximity of Halloween party, we moved our tasting from Thursday to Tuesday!
The date will NOT be on the last Thursday, but on:

Tuesday
October 27, 2009
7pm til when the fun ends...

The cost for the tasting is $25. If you buy 3 or more bottles the night of the tasting, you will receive 10% off the purchase!

This time we will taste the following wines:

David Bruce
2006 Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast, California

This has waves of luscious fruit such as, red cherry, cranberry and plums, with mocha-laden oak, nutmeg and cinnamon spices. The region ‘Sonoma Coast’ combines a cool ocean climate, with moderate rainfall and long sunny days to promote natural sugar development and good acidity.

Cain Cuvee
Non-Vintage Meritage
Napa Valley, California

Merlot 49%, Cabernet Sauvignon 41%, Cabernet Franc 9%, Petit Verdot 1%. Of our three Cabernet blends, the NV6 Cuveé uses the most Merlot which creates the plush and supple base. Mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc lend aromatic complexity and a bit of edginess to the taste so that the wine will dance on your palate. Also original to the Cuveé is the use of a portion of the previous vintage: 96% 2005 and 4% 2004. This adds complexity and polish to the finish.

Bogle Vineyards ~ Phantom
2006 Red Wine Blend
Clarksburg, California

A blend of 54% petite sirah, 43% zinfandel and 3% mourvedre, The Phantom is a haunting, fruit forward wine that begins with traces of blueberries, violets, chocolate-covered cherries and black pepper on the nose. Subtle notes of spice, clove and mocha complement the wine's fruit characteristics on the palate, finishing with toasting oak aromas from two years in a combination of one, two and three year old American oak.

ZD Wines
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California

This 2006 ZD Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has it all. The grapes were sourced from several small Napa Valley vineyards, each with its own unique ‘terroir’, giving us a varied palette of flavors and textures to work with when blending this wine. Each vineyard lot was hand harvested and fermented separately. Hand punchdowns in our small fermentors gives us a gentle extraction without aggressive tannins. Aged in our cellar for two years in American oak barrels, this wine is drinking beautifully now and will age gracefully for many years to come. Aromas of ripe dark plums, cassis and black cherries are complimented with subtle hints of cocoa, anise, tobacco and sweet, toasty vanilla. On the palate, lush, silky tannins envelop a solid core of ripe, forward black fruit, with perfectly integrated oak.

Bighorn Cellars
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California

Dark cherry, blackcurrant, leather, and smoke nicely rounds out the rich mocha mouthfeel of Bighorn's Reserve Cabernet. Aged over 24 months in partially new oak barrels, vanilla and spice completes this pretty package. It has a firm structure, that well-used term that means you can taste the tannins between the roof of your mouth and tongue. Cellar worthy, drink now through 2015.

Groth
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is big and lush with huge gobs of fruit in the aroma and flavor. The texture of the wine is soft and supple, typical of Cabernet Sauvignons grown in Groth's area of the Oakville AVA. Patience during bottle aging will reward the "steward" with an outstanding bottle over the next 10 to 15 years.

We always have nice crowd of 14-20 people, so hope to see you all there! Also, I will have Halloween tickets for you to purchase at discounted price!

This event will take place on Thursday September 24th and start at 7pm. You may either drink in a smoke free atmosphere at our wine bar or in our smoke-friendly private lounge equipped with leather couches and a 60" TV.
[b]Also, at this event, I will have Halloween tickets on me, for everyone who wants to attend The Biggest Halloween Party in OC
We will offer 6 two ounce tastes of our best wines for a total of $25. Most wines we are going to taste are over $20,- This event will also give you a chance to see our amazing wine collection and our prices that beat many 'MO' of our competitors. With the closing of the purple place up the street, Dana Point Cigar and Wine would be happy to show you a nice wine tasting experience with much more economical prices, still centrally located in beautiful area!

We have a fantastic wine tasting coming up on
September 24, 2009!
The lineup will include the following wines, so bring your friends and family and join the crowd. We are located on Pacific Coast Highway in beautiful Dana point.
Paul Dolan Vineyards
2006 Pinot Noir
Mendocino County, California
The vineyards that produce this Pinot Noir are located on the remote, southwestern outskirts of the Mendocino National Forest. Here the soils are rich and deep, imparting flavors that hint at the nearby wilderness. Medium-bodied, this wine is a harmonious blend of flavors: wild berries, luscious cherries, and the spicy vanilla of toasted oak.

Barreto Cellars
2004 Vinho Tinto
Paso Robles, California
Here's a not very common wine in grape varieties ("Vinho Tinto" - this is a blend of 41% Tempranillo, 41% Touriga, 16% Tannat and 2% Souzao. Earthy, smoke, oak/wood chip, roses and concord grape juice in the aromas. On the palate, this wine had a very lush, even slippery texture with round, juicy tannins. Very nice flavors of plum, dark fruits, soy sauce, chocolate, meat juice, leather and hints of coffee with a long aftertaste.

Naughty
2002 Syrah
Napa Valley, California
A big, seductive wine saturated with blackberries, cinnamon stick, black pepper and exotic spices. From three sections of the vineyard – one hillside, one top of the hill and the last from a rolling slope. To achieve the perfect balance of richness and depth, the wine was made in batches – some whole berry press, some split and some with a longer cold soak. Production: A very limited production of 118 cases so get Naughty while you can.

Renteria ~ "Q" Hill
2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California
Q Hill, with its 40 degree slope (think double diamond), was planted by Oscar’s father, Salvador, in 1974. The hillside location of the WoodenValley vineyard, located in the southeastern part of NapaValley, produces extremely low yielding, usually less than 1 to 1.5 tons per acre, clusters and tiny berries. Because of the hillside location, the warmer growing region and the low yield, the wines from Q Hill are very firm and highly structured with an abundance of acidity. The aroma is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet of dark fruit, blackberry and currant with leather and anise notes.

Rutherford Ranch
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California
Wines from Rutherford express the heart and soul of Napa Valley. They strive to create wines with fresh aromas, rich flavors and a smooth balanced finish. But along with true taste, Rutherford Ranch offers genuine value too. Mr. Robert Parker, well-respected critic and wine writer for The Wine Advocate, praised the Rutherford Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon calling the premium wine, "One of the great values in California Cabernet Sauvignon (believe me there aren't many of them)..."

Rombauer Vineyards ~ Diamond Selection
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California
Rombauer Vineyards’ 2003 Diamond Selection Cabernet Sauvignon is complex, dense and sumptuous. Luxurious aromas of ripe plum, wild berry fruit and cedar offer depth and structure. Coating the mouth are tiers of black cherry, cocoa and currant that unfold to present a vibrant, lingering finish. The tannins are well structured and firm.
