Dressner Wines Young and Old(er) (Le Caveau, Chamblee, GA): Lavender and violets and pure purple fruit, it is still incredibly young and the tannin is a little grainy. It really comes together with air, picking up a little more herbal character, while the tannin integrates and more nuance starts to show itself, an entrancing elixir that connects to my soul.

Mucho vino at the 15th annual birthday jeebus. (Joe's.): Connell is grinning like a mischievous gremlin when he shows this wine off. A throwback to days long gone when Jeff still lived in the city and the NY group also included the likes of Andrew and Jen, Oleg O, Callahan and Manuel & Josie. Man, if that isn't a grand cru jeebus right there. Alas, I wish I liked this wine as much as Jeff did, but the Cot bottling has always been a thorn in my side. The added ripeness from '97 certainly helps and the wine does show off pretty black and red fruit to go along with the twigs, violets, earth and spice, but I find it's a bit lacking in the middle, rather drying with the structure a little too coarse. That said, I still found it pleasurable and would be happy with it along side a roast chicken on a Tuesday night, which, after all, is what it really is meant for. B.
