2005 Glen Ellen Cabernet Sauvignon

First, let me work backwards from the menu. A Moore Team extravaganza of seven courses: peppered deviled eggs, mushrooms stuffed with crabmeat, crab dip, gourmet baked beans with Mike's homemade barbecue sauce, tossed salad with grapes and Mexican goat cheese, seafood casserole, and the capo: grilled hot dogs with toasted buns. Finis: key lime pie and homemade peanut butter cookies. Now, what wine comes to mind that can stand tall against such an eclectic mix? The humble Glen Ellen, fresh off the shelf at Triple Tails market, done good on a warm, windy night at the Cape. Slighty chilled (a brilliant idea) this scots lassie was quite flavorful and complementary at each turn of the international palates. Fine gal y'are!
