2003 Count Placido Chianti

A lively St Patrick's day dinner--of course taken at an Italian Restaurante - Vivo! This Product of Italy DOCG drew a "playful little wine" comment. Adhered to the no straw around the bottle rule which paid off handsomely with this delightful, inexpensive selection. Normally I try to avoid being distracted by the label (unless there are Penguins involved) but who could help being impressed by the noble Count P's visage--such an obvious model for Gary Oldman's interpretation of ye old Dracul. At Hilltop right down the street from wine heaven.
