2005 Turning Leaf Reserve Pinot Noir

At one of the Operation le Nozzi de Figaro dinners, this wine was a surprising match for the multi-fish and shrimp seafood entres. After an "interesting" taste at the beginning slid into a nice smooth finish. Calmed the combative atmosphere of "too many cooks in the kitchen" possibly fueled by a wide selection of pre-dinner firewaters of many a different sort. You just can't be totally objective drinking $85 a bottle scotch as a warmup! The post dinner songfest brought us all to a peak of communal thinking and the nasty incident in the mini-market bathroom with those "machines" was soon forgotten. Table for ten please signor!
