What WE Get to Taste This Weekend in Perpetually Sunny Dayton, Ohio
Man oh man, how can any wine enthusiast scan this list and not be thankful we’re alive and living in good ole’ “It’s Great ‘N’ Dayton” Ohio?
And I wonder what wine pairs perfectly with an Ohio State win over Northwestern, or even more importantly, what wine to buy this week in anticipation of next Saturday’s OSU win over Michigan?
I note that this weekend’s tasting at Cuvee includes the Robert Pecota Syrah. I chose the 2001 Pecota Monterey Syrah to accompany one of the dishes at the Eclipse Anniversary Dinner, because it is quite simply one of the best syrahs I’ve tasted from California. Not a deeply extracted heavyweight, but just the perfect balance between sweet fruit that is the hallmark of California reds and the earthy-spicy qualities usually found only in syrah-based wines of the northern Rhone. It’s delicious without being overpowering.
But enough! On to the tastings, courtesy of a local wine listserve!
