Domenico Wines – SF Peninsula winery

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

The less than attractive exterior of Domenico’s industrial building in San Carlos about 20 minutes south of SFO masks a nice interior and hospitality.  You taste their wines in a large warehouse but it has been decorated for events and of course wine barrels supply a warm ambiance.

Domenico has a rather large wine list that makes a trip there worthwhile.  I was impressed with their Super Tuscan among others.  This 2005 Amador blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cab Sauv has a delicate but interesting nose, medium body, and a mild finish that still has flavors.  All the wines we tried were very good but we found the wines a bit soft for us.  That means that pretty much everyone else will love them :-)
