- raggedy1 - 12-30-2001 I'm not the best at describing smells and tastes, but I will try to describe this one: The initial bouquet is semi-sweet dark fruit. My 1st impression was that of grape juice. I don't mean that in a bad way, but it does make me think of juice. The spice is light and the weight is of medium body. I think it's drinking great right now and it's a great buy at Dave's futures price of $12.50. I give it a solid 88/100. A fun zinfandel... - winoweenie - 12-31-2001 Hi Rags. Caffaro makes solid wines. Have had a lot of pleasure from his cabs. Will try this honker. WW - mrdutton - 01-15-2002 Even their Merlots are drinkable! I have a couple of the 94's left; will have to drink them soon!

I'm a big fan of his juice, although some criticize him for his blending techniques that blur the varietal lines. His prices at futures offerings can't be beat for QPR - Kcwhippet - 01-16-2002 Hey guys, Don't confuse David Coffaro (from Dry Creek Valley) with Joe Cafaro. Two different wineries. Coffaro makes mostly reds, and mostly unusual blends, but really nice wines. - winoweenie - 01-16-2002 Heck Fire. Shoot me in the toe. I thunked we were talkin' 'bout Sam Caffero. WW |
