Sublime Wine Returns To The Wine Cellar at The Rio!

July 24th, 2007

Ok Party People,
If you haven’t listened to our last two podcasts on Sublime Wine Radio
you must go and listen RIGHT NOW! Kelly went to the Wine Cellar at the Rio in Las Vegas, and I was so jealous I decided to make a trip myself.

WOW. Kelly wasn’t kidding-this place is awesome! Although you are in the middle of a casino, you completely lose yourself as you descend down the stairs into a beautiful, cool, QUIET, and calm wine cellar. The high energy and stress of the casino melt away as you take a seat and begin pouring over the wine menu. (No pun intended.)

I was greeted by Peter Keegan, a wonderful, knowlegeable, and funny guy who knows his stuff when it comes to wine. Instead of ordering off the menu, I asked Peter if he would be so kind as to give us his own ideas of a great tasting. He set up our glasses and started pouring. Our favorite of all time (I bought a bottle) was an amazing bottle-D.R. Stephens 2003 Moose Valley Vineyard Cabernet from Napa Valley. It retails for around $110.00 a bottle, and boy is it worth every penny. This cabernet is smooth and chocolately with a little bit of berry at the end…sigh…as one of my guests that came with me said, “This is a F&#@! nice glass of wine!”
After you check out the winery’s website, be sure and check out their link to find where you can find their wines in your area.

Another great bottle we tried was Corte Riva ‘04 Merlot from St. Helena. At $50.00 a bottle, this would make a great gift (for me) or just something really awesome to have with a steak. Their website describes it as “It opens with a dense aroma of cedar cassis, black cherry and blackberry with a long powerful finish of coffee and dark chocolate. This huge expressive Merlot has good structure, supple integrated oak and great balance. ”

I couldn’t have worded it better. That is why I copied their description. Also, it was rated a 91 by Wine Advocate. Get your hands on a bottle and enjoy!

PLEASE get your butt down to the Wine Cellar ASAP and ask for Peter. He can answer any questions you may have about the wine you are drinking, and will turn you on to some fabulous new wines that you would have never experienced otherwise.
After you go to the Wine Cellar, let me know how much you loved it!
Cheers!
Suz
