1999 Castello della Selva Pinot Nero

At the Trattoria Restaurant in Den Haag: an ideal accompaniment to an excellent saltimbocca dinner. Slightly dry and aromatic. May be hard to find in US.

1999 Jeckel Cabernet Sauvignon

At Havanna's for Cindy S Birthday Extravaganza. Very nice.

2003 Peter Vella California Merlot (a la box)

Cocktail party for Euro visitors warranted the box. Hence many opted to stick with the Sam Adams. "An inoffensive, somewhat bland offering" The box top guaranteed: "100% grape wine".

2001 Turning Leaf Cabernet Sauvignon (Reserve)

Super Bowl Party. Amidst cries of "go England" followed by howls that it was "New England" a quantity of 2001 TL Cab-Sauv was consumed, seeming to flow deftly down the palate of the many Atkins, low-carb dieters. "
A balanced wine only disturbed by the kick at the end (32-29). A.D/J/Ant came as solid Carolina tee-shirt wearing fans only to become confused and leave with divided loyalties to those "Brits from New England". Char cleaned upon the pool-IOUs to be collected.
