what could be better...One wine geek, three lovely ladies, two bottles of washington state cabernet sauvignon?
my girlfriend and i hosted an impromptu blind tasting of the 2004 bridgman cabernet sauvignon and the 2004 nelms road cabernet sauvignon. both are columbia valley cabs.
i had previously tasted (and loved) the 2004 bridgman. although this blog is dedicated to the quest for an interesting and lovable $10 cab, i have come to realize that this is a target rather than a hard and fast rule (unless one wants to taste a lot of really bad cabernet).
i found the nelms road to be unobjectionable but uninteresting. the bridgman I loved. interestingly enough, the girls unanimously found the nelms road to be superior in complexity, body and quality.
if you like dry, the bridgman will be you're choice. if you like fruit forward drinkability, go for the nelms road.
washington state rocks.
columbia crest rules.
more detailed reviews of the bridgman and nelms road cabs are available below. Girls, feel free to weigh in on the comments!
thanks to Catie for hosting wine blogging wednesday at through the walla walla grape vine.

Not that girls like sweet wine, but perhaps, because we are so sweet, full of life, the full body fruitness makes for our better choice. Enjoyed the fun! The Girls are looking forward to the next tasting....red or blue?
