Black Russian Red Bash


Some of the WoW friends had another fun outing to Mcgregor Winery on the shore of Keuka Lake. We tasted a hearty fare of Beef Wellington hors d'oeuvre, Fig & Blue Cheese Crostini, Chorizo stuffed Mushrooms, Beet & Shaved Fennel with Toasted Walnuts and Dark Chocolate Mousse with Crystallized Ginger .

We tasted wines ranging in price from $50 to $9.99 and each had our favorites.


2006 Black Russian Red $ 49.99
2006 Merlot $ 26.99
2006 Rob Roy Red $ 39.99
2007 Cabernet Franc $ 17.99
2006 Pinot Noir $27.99
Non-vintage Highlands Red $9.99
2007 Dry Gewürztraminer $ 19.99



Can you guess which wine we bought a case of - - - yes, the $9.99 the non-vintage Highlands Red (a semi-dry Baco Noir and Chancellor blend that leaves a black-pepper tingle on the palate) . We are into the second bottle and enjoying it almost as much as the 1998 library vintage of Black Russian Red at $100.
