Back to Kandahar

As promised, we headed back up to Cafe Kandahar on The Big Mountain here in Whitefish Montana for an evening of heavy hors d'oeurves and wine sapling with Michael Keenan if the Keenan Winery in Napa.



The hors d'oeurves were delicious, but the wines were the highlight of my evening. I am a fan of red wines in general (fell in with the red zin crowd a few years ago when it became popular) but this night reunited me with a couple of old friends. It has been a while since I enjoyed an evening of wines like I did at Cafe Kandahar.

We started out with a couple of chardonnays, one of which, called "summer blend" perfect for a hot summer day. I liked the summer blend, Hill liked the Napa Valley Spring Mountain. I actually liked them both, but not being a big chardonnay drinker, I went with the "lighter" tasting one.

When we got into the reds, it was hard to pick a winner. I'm glad I didn't have to. What a selection. From a 2000 merlot that had me immediatley craving a steak to "mernet", a delicious blend of cabernet and merlot grapes that is very drinkable.



Speaking of Cabernet's, It's a toss-up between the 2004 Cabernet Reserve and the 2003 Merlot for my choice for victor, but like I said before, I'm glad I don't have to pick a winner.

If you have the opportunity, check out their website at www.KeenanWinery.com, or if you are ever in California, make an appointment for a tasting. They have some fantastic wines!

So until next time adventure fans, we'll see you in the park, or perhaps in the Napa Valley tasting some phenominal reds!!






Don't forget! Glacier Adventure is the source for Glacier National Park and surrounding areas.
