Well, I could say I am California dreaming, but the weather in Boston right now is stellar, and I am pretty happy to be right here! I am, however, California wine loving, as always. On a chilly day last week, we opened a bottle of Syrah from our last trip to Sonoma in front of a cozy fire and thawed out, falling once again in love with Enkidu wine.
Enkidu is right off of the Sonoma Plaza and is one of the stops we made before my busy weekend of work began in September. It’s a cool, beautiful space, and the staff member pouring was great. He and my husband chatted rugby and Ireland while he poured us Enkidu’s beautiful wines and, now that I am thinking about it, wish we had gone back again when I was done working to really enjoy the space. Oh well, there’s always the next trip!
Now about that 2010 Kick Ranch Syrah. It’s everything I love about a Sonoma County Syrah, earthy, juicy cherries, spice, dried leaves. It’s a big, cozy wine that is the perfect fireplace wine. It was great paired with filets cooked in butter with butternut squash and broccoli roasted in truffle oil. Yum.
What wine are you loving this fall?
