Introduction

Group of 4 (John K., AJ Laura and DGW) enjoyed a lovely evening after 41 C afternoon in Phoenix..."it's a dry heat..."

Appetizers included the melon soup, crab cakes, and shrimp cerviche..main course featured rack of lamb with sun dried tomatoes, duck with cactus/melon glaze and Hawaiian spear fish

Flight 1 - The Wine of the Night (1 Note)

but then, the only one that we ordered. 2002 Alec's blend Syrah @ $110 was not available so went with Shafer.

    Terrific wine; 81% syrah and 19% petit syrah...did not decant, but wine was very approachable, did not have any stemmy or "green" affect. Super fruits, great balance, plenty of tannins and long finish; just hitting its stride
