Wine Tasting Friday Night at Cap N' Cork - my picks are......

Just got the email about a wine tasting at Cap N’ Cork – see below
I plan to taste:
Santa Ema Reserve Merlot  as my friend Clara says her favorite restaurant in her new hometown Salida, Colorado serves Santa Ema wines and she is now in love with them
M&R Moscato D’Asti as The Wall Street Journal ON WINE columnists wrote four pages on “Why You’ll Be Drinking Moscato This Year.” FYI -  M&R was not one of their picks.
Cameron Hughes Lot 271 Pinot Noir Russian River as it rates a 90 from Wine Enthusiast, and after the Cinema Center showing of “Sideways” I am driven to taste more Pinot Noir
Cameron Hughes Lot 313 Field Blend because Cameron Hughes has no fields – he is a person who repackages wine purchased from winemakers throughout the world – and is known for buying some great wines and selling them at low prices through Costco, Safeway and online
Colby Red – we bought that a few weeks ago as a “Rocky recommends” but haven’t opened
Casa Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Carmenere because it has the word “cuvee” in it and because it is the once lost and now found Carmenere grape
