		<title>Gavi di Gavi Wine With a Cubano Claro Cigar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Palladino Gavi Di Gavi 2006 comes from the high altitude Piedmont region of Italy. While I am familiar with Gavi Di Gavi wine, I&#8217;ve never attempted to drink it with a full body cigar. Most Gavi di Gavi wines tend to be milder and perfect for a meal, such as veal. This one attracted me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sauvignon Blanc with Don Kiki White Label</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sauvignon Blanc wine is usually considered the starters wine. It&#8217;s mild with mild fruit flavors, and at times lemony. While I normally prefer Chardonnay when drinking white wine, I decided to give Magito Sauvignon Blanc Rivertrace 2006 a shot with a comparably mild but flavorful Don Kiki White Label from the harvest of 2001 Double [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joullian Zinfandel Wine with a Cuban Crafters Robusto Cigar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first time with a Carmel Valley Zinfandel was an excellent experience. Joullian Sias Cuvee Zinfandel 2004 is produced in small batches at the Joullian Vineyards of California. At first pouring, it has a very dark garnet color with a ruby rim around the glass. The aroma is slightly spicy with a bit of vanilla-tinged [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cigar Tax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cigar tax after cigar tax and I&#8217;ve had enough. While this blog is for pairing cigars with wines,  the situation with cigar taxes is getting out of control, with increases at the federal and state level. On April 1, 2009 the Federal cigar tax went up from 4.75 cents a cigar to 40.26 cents a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don Kiki Brown Label Cigars with Opus One Wine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had the Opus One wine and matched it up with an Arturo Fuente Opus X cigar. Since I was drinking alone, I didn&#8217;t drink all of the Opus One wine. With about ½ of the bottle left, I removed as much air as I can and sealed the bottle with a wine saver rubber cork. Wine can [...]]]></description>
