2002 Quinta de Carmen (Argueso Bodegas)

A very nice fish supper accompanied by this vino blanco. Argueso Bodegas, the "other" side of Anna's family. Linda liked this because it was sweet but not too fruity. Lighthearted.

2002 Yellow Tail Cabernet

Celebrating Ben's arrival. A mrical effect--heartburn evaporated. Ben: "Good for drinking at any hour of the day".

2000 Turning Leaf California Zinfandel

Mothers Day. Steaks from the Fresh Market-yeeah! Drinkable but didn't rise to the occasion. Pretty bland. This was meant for "something else" (The code word).

Argueso San Leon

In Espana. A beautiful dry Manzanilla at Javier's favorite restaurant in San Lucar de Barremeda. Luckily able to bring some back. Fabulouso. Accompanied black forest ham from hogs who dined on acorns. Leanred that Amoontillado comes from Jerez, Fina from Rota, and Manzanilla from San Lucar. Label: Herederos De Argueso, S.A. Este vino ha sido elaborado en el Lagar de nuestra Bodega "San Lucas" con uvas procedentes de nuestros proprios videdos plantados sobre tierra de Albariza

Retired Commander's Supper

Several wines served during the Retired Commander's Supper at Jolly Mon's and celebrating Teeth and Keena's 25th. There was a red zinfandel (later corrected to be a Pinotage) from Sud Africa served just as Jolly Mon was advised of his new "Super Boss" .
