2008 Qupé Syrah & Ahi Tuna - August Weber Haus

A recent trip to Cedarburg for an afternoon of wandering around and such landed Diana and I at the August Weber Haus
(W63N678 Washington Ave Cedarburg, WI) with two immediate needs.  A small plate and some great wine.

The staff greeted us with with great enthusiasm and I felt like we were really welcome to be there.  Not your basic fake smile and have a seat, the people here are really friendly.  Not sure on what red I wanted to drink, the server behind the bar offered several samples of red that were open and I was drawn to the 2008 Qupé Syrah.  Easy to drink, this classic Northern Rhone style wine had hints of pepper, berry and smoke.   It falls in th category of a smart buy in my opinion, priced from $11 to $18, depending on where you look.

The Ahi Tuna was excellent and was served on a toasted bread with what the server described as Amore cheese..  Cooked to perfection in a terriaki soy sauce with butter and garlic, the combination was a match created just for this wine.

If you are in the Cedarburg area, plan to stop and try them both.    I know it will be on the list of places to go the next time we are in the area.
