Al,

Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with that wine - especially for the price. It's an easy quaffer, with or without food and everone I've served it to enjoyed it.

I'm sure it is....... Problem is I'm up to about $400.00 so far this month on wine and there is still the sale on the 17'th and the release on the 24'th. When does it end?

It never does!

All prices in $Cdn:

1 x 1987 Feist VP @$45
2 x 2001 Clos de L'Oratoire @37
3 x 1998 Settimo Barolo Rocche @$50

plus:

4 X 1999 Rivera Cappellaccio @17
1 x 2000 Saltram 'Mamre Brook' Shiraz @$20
2 x 2000 Cesari Mara Ripasso @15

2001 Ramey Jericho Canyon Red-$75

1997 Travaglini Gattinara-$28

based on the 00' and good $$$...

2001 Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville @ $16.99 ea (Canyon Country Costco)
