Merlot
Firestone 2001 Merlot - Central Coast, CA - Quieter than its Syrah cousin, this full-flavored Merlot will please palates of even the most discerning winelover. Haydn's London Symphonies would go well with this selection.Pinot Noir
Iron Horse 2001 Estate Pinot Noir - Green Valley, Sonoma County CA - An interesting Pinot Noir, with characteristicly subtle coloring and flavor. We recommend this one with something soft and slightly pensive, perhaps Mendelssohn?
Au Bon Climat 2003 Santa Barbara Pinot Noir - This is an excellent Pinot with a lucious red color and bold taste. Big, bold, Germanic music is required as a complement - we would recommend Mahler or Beethoven.
Syrah
Consilience 2001 Syrah - Central Coast, CA - This is an excellent Syrah with a bold, fruit-forward taste. The Central Coast has rapidly become one of the premier Syrah-growing areas in the world.
Chianti Classico
Ruffino Aziano Chianti Classico 2002 - (no link) We had this for dinner the other night. A good, very dry, rounded Chianti Classico that drinks well with lasagna or spaghetti marinara or bolognese. Its also inexpensive - you should be able to find this for less than a Hamilton per bottle, and its widely available. Drink immediately. Buona Sera!
