Where there’s smoke …
Posted on July 8th, 2009 – 7:49 PMBy Bill Ward
… in a wine’s flavor profile, there’ll be my wife/way better half, moaning like Homer Simpson at a doughnut factory.
I mentioned awhile back that since she had quit smoking last August — happy near-anniversary, darlin’! — she had developed a real ardor for smoke-laden wines, mostly syrahs.
Well, she just took a swig of the 2006 Meek Family Estate syrah, from a winery owend by the Twin Cities’ own Michael Meek, and came up with a descriptor that would serve Robert Parker quite well:
“Essence of Marlboro.”

Bill,
I am glad it works for your wife. I was the one to bring this Meek wines in along with Sheridan Vineyards through my friend Brian Bangs.
The Meek lineup for the price is hard to beat.
Great move, John. The Meek wines are, as you note, great QPR deals. Haven’t come across the Sheridan, alas.
I had lunch with Michael Meek on Monday and will be writing a column about him soon.
Is it so important? Ciao.
