I went back on Sunday for a second day of wine tasting at the DC Wine Festival, I went with a friend and was supposed to meet up with Leah but missed her due to a cell phone mishap.

Sunday was less crowded, but still pretty bad, they did a better job of keeping the meager foodstuffs filled, which was nice. We also stopped by igourmet first thing and picked up a tray of cheese. I was a little disappointed that they vendors pretty much shut down by 18:00 (an hour before the Festival was supposed to end), but we were pretty much done by then so it was not a huge deal.

Some highlights:

Grover Wines, the first wine I have ever had from India. The wines were okay, but unremarkable, except for their Sauvignon Blanc. The Sauvignon Blanc had a crisp, light taste with hints of fruit and honey.

Montesquieu International Wine Brokerage is kind of a neat idea: They track down wines from all over the world and provide only the best for their clients (presumably only the best, it may also be the wineries that give them the biggest bribe ;)). According to the representative, their service is designed for everyone, not just the rich. I am going to contact them and see about getting more details.

3 Blind Moose had a great series of wines, including a really good Merlot.

Finally, Four Vines Winery home of the "Zin Bitch" shirt and some very good Syrahs.
