Gone But Not Forgotten

Sunday was the seventh anniversary of the death of Jimmy Armstrong.
Last night, Bobby and I toasted his memory by opening a bottle of Cline Zinfandel from Sonoma ($13.99), which was the house red at Jimmy Armstrong's Sal**n. (This one was a 2007.) Anyone who's had this wine knows that, as a zin, it's a bold red, a little spicy, with an outsize personality. Maybe a wee bit of a show-off, but not insufferably so.
Kind of like Jimmy himself.
