Drunk day two better. it was not as full body as I expected nor as rounded. I think this bottle best days are ahead and I popped too soon.

1/17/2014 8:27:00 AM - My twitter ID is apparently @tonypoli. I was marginally more creative when I established that one. My tweets are limited to automatic ones when I would write a tasting note on Corkz on my phone. I rarely use that app anymore. But if you tweet me (is that possible? I clearly don't know the Twitter jargon), I will attempt to track it down. I recently had a Domaine Chante Cigale Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, which is a Marsanne/Roussanne blend, and was reasonably priced and available in PA. This is not trivial, which you would know if you have ever attempted to buy wine in my fine commonwealth. If you can get that one in Virginia Beach, it would be worth a try.

I really like The Label - great name for their Cab. And the wine is just what Larry Turley says it is, a Cab for Zin lovers. Thanks for reaching out to me.
