Liquid asset?
Panning for gold just got a whole lot more fun. Gold 2005 (find this wine), a wine made from a blend of white grapes from Australia’s 2005 harvest, is bottled in California under the supervision of cult producer, Hundred Acre. I have yet to try the wine, which is apparently aromatic and unoaked. It certainly doesn’t merit any aging–except for the fact that gold has been one of the best performing assets of 2005. Probably best to pour this wine with strainer in hand and then stash the 24 karat gold!

I had this wine a few weekends ago at a social gathering. I was expecting it to be gimmicky and uninteresting but it was anything but. It was smooth and graceful and unoaked. I was suprised at its quality. It measured up nicely – in fact better – than the Peter Michael l’Apres Midi which I also tasted at the gathering. I drank it unstrained, with the gold flecks in the glass, which adds an eye-catching element to the wine. The host gave me a bottle, which I plan on drinking on New Years.

Thanks Seth for your notes and observations–I look forward to trying it myself. Definitely sounds like a New Year’s Eve kinda wine. How did the flecks taste?
Cheers.
