Dinner at the Mariposa in Deer Valley – Utah, with Couloir Monument Tree Pinot Noir
February 11, 2011
Don’t ever let it be said that the Mariposa is an easy restaurant to find! We were somewhere in the region of 45 minutes late for our reservation, after both Google Maps and Sprint Navigation threw in the towel so far as plotting a course for us. Of course it was made all the more difficult by the fact that it was pitch black, with very little street lighting.
Once we found the restaurant , we were greeted warmly by both the hostess and the log fire, which was lucky as it was somewhere in the region of 5F outside!

Straight Line Tempranillo California 2009
February 10, 2011
Grape
90% Tempranillo 10% Graciano
Facts
If you caught my previous post where I visited the excellent Talisker on Main restaurant in Park City, Utah, you’ll know that I brought the Straight Line Tempranillo to the restaurant. Since this wine is one of my favorites that winemaker Jon Grant produces, I felt it was worth a little more insight!
The Tempranillo grape is native to Spain and is arguably one of the most “noble” of all Spanish varietals. The word Tempranillo comes from the Spanish word temprano, meaning “early", (the grape supposedly ripens weeks earlier than other grapes).
