Here at the Temecula Valley office of CAKE Newsletter, we were juiced earlier in the year to discover the Risqué Sommelier. So following a way-too-busy spring season, we decided it was high time to taste one of his picks. Being Pinot-weenies, we settled on RS's recommendation of the Carmel Road. Of course, our local market only stocked the 2005, which set us back an additional $ten. But it was well worth it! When the first taste flowed over the tongue, we were reminded of Betty Davis' line from All About Eve, "Fasten your seatbelts . . . !" We knew we were in for a ride! The wine offered significant depth right out of the bottle, with the flavors only getting deeper & denser as the evening progressed. What a pleasant end to a day. Risqué Sommelier? He knows of what he speaks! Michael & Karon. CAKE Wine Country Newsletter. Our first time!
