2002 Cheval des Andes   or
2005 Kilikanoon Parable or
2002 Bilton Shiraz

or maybe all 3

We'll open a couple of nice bottles tomorrow, though, as we spend time with a good friend whose girlfriend is in town from halfway around the world.  Gotta think of something delicious to make for dinner which will go with one of my better reds...I'm thinking maybe a 2000 Lone Madrone Cab and/or a 2001 Zenato Amarone.  Or maybe one of our miscellaneous recent releases from Tolo.  Or...something else.

Decisions, decisions!

You suck. Bad enough you live in and around several great wine growing regions, but you have to rub it in with the temperature?

We are going to bundle up and walk the three blocks to l'Oca (site of the Philly CT dinner!).  I think a '97 Brunello is on order.

Status: offline 		I was going to buy some wine because left work too late to pull something from the wine fridge, unless I wanted cold wine.  But on the way out of work I got talked into grabbing a beer (Guinness).  I had one beer and when I got home, I opened some cheaper wine I had that was at already had at room temperature.  I ended up with Chateau Roquefort Bordeaux 2005, Potato and Leek Soup, and Flank Steak.

Status: offline 		Tonight we're trying a place that I have been dying to hit, and still haven't figured out what we're gonna bring.  It's Italian, with a bit of Asian influence.  Should be interesting, and their menu looks great.  As many things as there are to try, and as much as I want to try their homemade pasta, the wagyu burger with truffles sounds like heaven.  I guess we'll have to wait and see.  May bring a big cab, but might also bring a bottle of pinot as a backup and I never know what we'll order.  I'm guessing my gorgeous bride is going to have a chicken dish, or perhaps salmon.  Too many options!  -mJ

that is the million dollar question, isn't it ... will be staying with a good friend in San Fran tonight, and he appreciates fine wine, thus affording me the rare opportunity to open something nice and have it actually be enjoyed. still thinking about what that bottle (or two) will be ...

Lamb Chops and Mondavi 97 Cab


Let us know how it is.  I had a 97 Mondavi Reserve a year ago and thought it was past its prime.
