2001 Wyndham Estate Bin 555 Shiraz

The Josephine & A.D. luncheon.

A wakeup call from Ken and Susan. Very robust and wrapped its arms around the roast rib. Expectant and verbose. Another wonderful antecedent to the dessert. Sharp, smoked cheddar hit us like a bolt from the blue and smacked the Shiraz on the rump--cracking good! Accompanying stories of Oregon, Charleston and DBs "I thought you said Goat!" jokes. What flavor, what anticipation of England's future triumph!
