I love me a Bordeaux. I can't say this one is particularly thrilling, but if you're sipping this while calculating how many underpants to pack for tour, perhaps it's just thrilling enough. Life is all about balance, isn't it? I think this wine would pair well with a foie gras terrine, (Just a theory. This is an ARTIST wine column folks!) Still, it fared fine with poached eggs, warmed tomatoes, and PEI cobbler potatoes roasted with kalamata olives,. Slightly earthy, light on the tannins and dangerously fruity. Remember that rolling is often better than folding!
