We went out wine tasting today. There's a decent chance this will be the last time we go out wine tasting this year. Fortunately, we went to a couple places we hadn't been for a while, but we also went to one of my favorites - Abassador Wines of Washington.
I've found that I like earthy wines - dark fruits, some tobacco or leather, maybe even some licorice or cigar smoke. I don't like the really tannic, bold reds that will smack your jaw and leave you withing you had something else. Heck, even for steaks, I prefer a good merlot to a cab, unless it's a very marbled ribeye.
At any rate, Ambassador has easily my favorite grenache in the state. I do recommend it. Tasty, approachable, not too overt. It's exactly what I look for in a red.
Thus ends my free advertising for Ambassador Wines of Washington.
