Year-End Wine Tasting -- Cellar Treasures (Trattoria Asti -- Austin): I embarrassed myself on this one...I was sure this was a Martinelli Zin. Tasted like it had a lot of alcohol and spice, cinnamon and pineapple notes. No heat on the finish however. Imagine my surprise and embarrassment when this was unveiled as a Cab. Not my favorite wine of the night.
