The last entry referred to the Coloma Wine Shop; actually it's the Coloma Wine House. The proprietors, Steve and Chris, have a great place that offers over 200 small vinter wines, plus artisan cheeses, meats, gifts, and greeting cards. Today, at the Shop, I sampled and purchased a Sartori Reserve BellaVitano Merlot, which is a parmesan style cheese soaked in Merlot and aged for at least 8 months. It's creamy smooth with a chaddar texture and has a great mouth-feel. Paired with Reisling, it's a great break from a lot of standard fare. I also purchased a 2004 Shiraz by Penascal from the Castilla Y Leon region of Spain. We're looking forward to give it a whirl!
