2001 Caliterra Merlot and Casillero del Diablo

Dinner Party for Jack and Mary at A.D. and Josephines. Spaghetti Divine complimented by some surprisingly good wines (run to Total Wine). Lots of rugby talk. The Caliterra was very smooth and slithered down the throat. The Casilero had a bit more bite but still evoked a flavorful burst of incandescence. A couple of very nice options from Chile, much better than the non-descript French.
