We enjoyed both of these wines at a dinner party at our house last night with a few friends. We've had each of these wines within the past few months and really liked them, so we were anxious to share them. They both went over very well, especially the Red Guitar. It paired excellently with the lasagna that we served. The Red Guitar is a Spanish blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). It's incredibly smooth and highly drinkable; fruity without being too sweet.
The Mark Davidson was just as I remembered it when I last had it in March. Here are the notes I made at that time --- http://blueandwine.blogspot.com/2009/03/mark-davidson-white-blend.html
These wines are quickly becoming two of our favorites. We continue to have great success with blended wines. They just seem to be tastier than most of the standard varietals we've had.
