2004 Rosemount Estate Shiraz Cabernet

The third wine of the night came from a violation of the "same hemisphere in a row" rule: This wine had a odd familiarity to it. Very smooth, yet undistinguishable. At the tail end of Josephine's superb vegetable curry dineer. It DID highlight the conversation about the British Army Can Opener "we've had one for 25 years". In response to a request for a demonstration, there was no question the little item worked a trick--went right through the top of some Campbell's in no time flat. How did we get to this high point? Well, it all started with a comparison of British and American Corned Beef Hash--hah somebody got the wrong word on this one: two hash's divided by a common culture.
