That's nice, but did you ask Hoople?
On another note there are some logistics to be taken care of for the 1st online IHUB wine tasting event.
We need to have an idea of where participants are located so as to establish an optimal time of day. We also have to agree on the specific wine to be tasted. I would suggest giving that honor to Hoople, who came up with the initial idea. We can then take turns in order of appearance on the IHUB board. That makes me 2nd.
I would suggest that selections be posted as recommendations, to be followed up by a consensus of agreement pending brand availability.
I tried the Ecco Domani 2003 Merlot this evening. The purported "aromas of currant and black cherries" were rather vague for my under-educated nose. I haven't had a Merlot for quite some time. My initial attachment to red wine favored Merlot, until I began to appreciate the more robust Cabernets and "Sideways" favorite Pinot.
I will hold this Ecco Domani as a good baseline for Merlot.
