2004 Honig Cabernet Sauvignon

The RFerrante farewell lunch. A strong, striking wine that overwhelmed the tepid lunch entrees. At 14.5% should have saved this one for the evening. Rang the bell vis a vis the spicy tomato zuppe. Lil' Dubya rambled incessantly about worst plane rides, Falklands, Azalea Festival parties, til the group was agog, eyes askelter. Still came the Honig, full bodied and rich--three bottles left the BHs swerving and listing about the Magnolia Grill. Thus was Roberto sent packing back to Roma with a rousing goodbye.
