Rosenblum Cellar

went to check out the openhouse at Rosenblum Cellars in Alameda on saturday with will, john, marlyanne, sanford and micki. there were sooooo many different wines to taste. zinfandels, chardonnays, syrah and many many more. some of the favs were Clara's , the Planchon, the Paso Robles, the Rockpile Petite Syrah, and the Desire Chocolate Dessert Wine. I bought a bottle each of the last two. hehe. although i didn't really drink all that much, only tasting. i had caught a cold on friday :( booooo. however i didn't want to flake since it was my first time meeting marlyanne, she's amy's friend who just moved here from NYC. overall the event was really fun. good food (smoked cheeses, good bread, amazing tri-tip that we couldn't get enough of, and zinfandel ice cream with chocolate chunks) the crowd was perfect, all wine lovers who didn't mind getting to know new people. will is trying to learn to appreciate wines so he seemed to be enjoying all the different things to try. wish i had a camera so i could take pics. i will decide on one soon. :) the only thing i didn't like about the event was that there were sooooo many people, it made it hard to get around.
