Jade Mountain, Caldwell Vineyard Merlot

At Michael's in KW (can't argue with THAT name). Selected with a flourish by AD and telegraphed in on a fair wind just after an emotive sunset observed afloat off Mallory Docks. Sprinting down Margaret St and bouncing into our seats just under the reservation expiration, the wine matched right up alongside some flown-in Chicago prime steaks (only 1% of all steaks . . . ). After a day of thigh muscle destruction riding 26 miles around the island on two-seat butt-busters, we frankly needed the protein.
