2003 Santa Maria Merlot (Chile)

Luncheon at Josephine and A.D.'s. After a long dogs walk on the beach before a shining sea with unusual warmth from the winter sun followed by a philosophical alignment at Starbuck's. Led into a quite wonderful afternoon meal of roast beef rib, taters, and a parsnip or two--all the trimnings. Entre'd by the Santa Maria--a nice seg-u-way. Tart and fanciful, she stepped into the party with an Argentinian twist!.
