This is a dry wine with deep black current undertones and tannins an interesting flavor for being 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. I never quite understood the draw of black current when I lived in London, Ribena (The blackcurrent drink) was sweet yet tart. In wine, the black current is dark and substantial. It is fruity, but concentrated, like dry fruit. I am not at home, so I didn't have a chance to run it through the vinturi, but I now know what to bring as a hostess gift the next time I am in Glen Cove!
Menu:
Caesar Salad
Penne a la Vodka
Green beans with roasted garlic
Veal with Gorgonzola
Linguine fileto pomodoro (sp - it is off the menu only for insiders)
This is a great big THANK you to my hostess, my dining companions, Notorious Nick the Snowboarder, Alex "I want a better i-Touch" (32 gig isn't enough) and our sponsor, the mysterious man in the yellow Easter tie!
