    I’ve never had Cinq Cepages, though I understand its a nice wine. Question is, what did you eat with it? 01 is my favorite year for Napa and surrounding areas. You had to try and make bad wine that year.

    On an related note, tonight is my 4 year (dating) anniversary with Jody. I’m making Cuban black bean soup, blackened chicken and a 96 Lavaux St Jacques Burgundy.

    Its a wonderful wine but I liked it better in the late 90’s when it was a $20 bottle of wine. We had some great artisan cheeses with it, I think. It was after drinking all day and I wish we hadnt opened it as I dont remember drinking it. I let a friend into my closet and said pick whatever you want.

    Que Sera Sera

    I did have a glass left over that I drank last night with a grilled rib eye with dijon mustard and fresh rosemary. They danced together very nicely.

    Enjoy you milestone tonite. I’m sure you deserve it.

    I never met any wine that didn’t go with any food. I never understood why pairing wine with food was necessary. I guess my tongue isn’t so refined. Cabs are my favorite, had one last night with a nice ossobuco alla milanese. Can’t think of anything better.

    Nostradamus, its not necessary. Its more pleasurable. As long as you enjoy the two, then there is no right or wrong answer. What I’ve learned to appreciate is food and wine that compliment each other. That means making sure that the wine doesn’t overpower the food, and vice versa. The first time you have a pairing that sings together, you’ll know. If its not a big deal to you, then its not about refined so much as unimportant to you.

    No good ever comes from letting your buddies raid your wine cellar, ouch.
