Cali'o 2007 Nero D'Avola

At Pizzeria Mozza, $41. Delicious 50/50 blend of Nero and Nerello Cappuccio.

Francis Ford Coppola - Directors

Bridlewood Zinfandel 2007

Really really good. Bold and balanced with both spice and fruit.

Smoking Loon Syrah 2007

$5.99 at Safeway. Tasty stuff. I don't turn my nose up at many $6 bottles and this one turns tricks.

Touraine, Savignon Blanc

Whole Foods for less than $10. Really nice. Heaps of bell pepper, jalapeno, freshly cut grass. All the vegetal that I like in a Sav Blanc. This was a suggestion from a staff member, thanks.

Chateau De Rochemorin 2005 Grand Vin De Bordeaux

I was "volunteered" to take care of a friend's cat for the weekend. I tried to explain to her that the cat would be asleep most of the time and probably wouldn't even know she was gone. That didn't work. So we went to her house, only to find the cat waiting by the door and a cat poo waiting in the shower. Lovely. After the gagging subsided we noticed that our friend left us a bottle of wine, and this gesture did not go unnoticed. I opened it only to find that it was really tasty! (see photo) Well, thank you Coco the Cat! You keep leaving the good stuff on the table and I'll rinse your shower out and chase you into your little tent anytime. You sly old cat, you.

Trentatre Rosso 2007

Great wine for the money! About $6 at Trader Joe's, I will be getting this again.
