WTN: My first Foch

They say you will always remember your first Foch and this one was quite nice. Took a Hart Cellars '04 Foch-Vidal to a pizza party with a bunch of wine geeks in attendance. This was the first wine opened and quite honestly I did not know what to expect. The wine was soft with nice fruit and no wild or briary notes. It was a light wine that probably should have been served slightly chilled. Everyone agreed it was enjoyable and easy to drink, a definite quaffer. Didn't realize it until I stared at the label, guess it has some Vidal in it; Duh!! Not sure what percent but definitely added to the wines softness. The bottle was enjoyed and emptied quickly. Next came three Chiantis, one Siduri PN and one Italian IGT, bigger wines but nothing more interesting than my first Foch.
