This will be an open ended entry. My hope is to keep my notes and a list of wines I really enjoyed. I have tried some other sites, but I think I would like a "1 stop shop" for all my notes, tech or otherwise. Only time will tell if this will work.

Opened a Cooper Hawk Cabernet Tannet. Was told it was a bold, heavy wine. My description is very smooth and easy to drink. I will def. buy this wine again. I was thinking about canceling my subscription, but the last 3 wines I have had, completely changed my mind. I will keep it up for a while longer and re-evaluate...
Other Cooper Hawk wine I like is Chardonnay Viognier. This was crisp and smooth. A perfect balance between sweet and dry for me. I would love this wine on a warm spring/summer day. I would def. buy this wine again.
I got some cheese from the NL farmers market and it pairs perfectly with the cabernet tannat. I will have to get the name at the next farmers market.

Its currently 95 degrees outside and I needed to cool off, so I opened a bottle of wine that has been sitting in my fridge for about 2 month. Its a Coopers Hawk Chenin Blanc. First thoughts as I poured it into a glass, super light, very clear, almost as clear as water. First thoughts on taste, very easy to drink. Might be too cold to get a good judgement. A bit dry on the back end. Short finish. Waited about 15 min and let it warm up a bit and aired it out. Not much changed on the taste. Still very good. I was planning on having some cheese and crackers with it, but now I wish I had a fresh fruit as it feels like this would be a good combination. Not sure I would buy again, only because there are other whites that I like better, but I would like a glass of this before or after a nice dinner at Coopers Hawk.
