Wine of the Night The Ski Boy and I had very nice, dare I say romantic, post surgery celebration dinner at Southside Bistro this evening. The wine was a 1999 Treana Red Table Wine. Very full. Very flavorful. A drop dead combination of Cabernet Sauvingon, Syrah, Merlot, Mourvedre, and Petit Sirah. I first became acquainted with this wine last year in San Diego with Jim Dunlap. We had dinner at a very fine, gourmet even, Mexican Restaurant. The young wine steward, who was a Mexican woman (a double rarity in the sommelier world) highly recommended the Treana to us. She seemed to know what she was about, so Jim and I went with her recommendation. And what a total killer that wine was. It remains one of my favorites. 9:12:57 PM    comment []
