Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ipa
Similar to a amber ale. Nicely balanced ipa malt flavor. Touch of citrus. Hop smell and taste over malt. But does still have some malty characteristics. closer to a middle of the road 60 minute ipa flavor

Double Dog Dare Cabernet
It's a 4$ cabernet, so my expectations started on it pretty low. Having tasted it, my verdict is not bad. It is pretty easily drinkable with soft tannins, a subtle smoky nose, and a solid plum fruit. However, it's not very distinctive. There is not much about it that says truly wow!
To me, I'm left to conclude that this is the perfect wine, when your not trying to impress or have something of quality to match with food. Perhaps an everyday wine. Good match with steak, spaghetti and meatballs, etc.

Amici Chardonnay
Definitely get the lemon and dried toast flavor. Little peach. Sorta tastes like a drier oak chardonnay
Amici Cabernet Sauvignon
Nice and beautiful plum/currant scent. No cherry acid. Good dark fruit flavor with drying tannin quality but silky.

Commodore Perry IPA
For fans of 60 minute IPA, they will probably like this one. Average hoppiness to above average, easy down, crisp and refreshing
Pumking
Scent of a nice cinnamon coffee cake. Subtle flavor of pumpkin with present yet subtle pumpkin spice in finish.
Ommegang Grains of Truth
Subtle hoppiness and a little grainy flavor with a touch of velvety feeling. Goes down as easy as a larger.

Oak Ridge Zin
Ommegang Three Philosophers
I don't know if I can give a clear picture on this one because I was just hanging out with my buds when drinking it but.... here we go.
Not too strong on hoppy spice, easy drinking, velvety, with a touch of fruit. Can't ID exact fruit

Carson Ridge Cabernet Paso Robles CA
It has a somewhat smoky nose. Furthermore, it has dark fruit in the mouth feel and a dry but soft finish. Its after taste lingers, but not too long.
This is not a very fruit forward wine as well.
Good if you want something easy to drink that is not too sweet.

First Wine Post. Chateau Rochemorin Rouge Pessac 2012
So for my readers, I'm hoping many of my posts will equal just a picture of the wine and what I personally tasted while tasting the wine.
This wine for me really lived up to it's billing having a herbaceousness running throughout the entirety of the wine. I also experienced a full bodied mouthfeel, subtle dark fruit, and a dry finish.
