Recent Reds

A few bottles we had over the last couple of weeks ...
  1. 2007 Alfasi Reserve Malbec-Syrah (Chile): Quite plummy; I really liked this 50/50 malbec-syrah blend; that malbec grape really lightened things up.
  2. 2007 Lisabella Pinot Noir (Italy): Bright and young, adequate, and best of all, $5.99 at Manhattan Plaza Wine & Spirits.
  3. 2005 Chateau Prignac (Mèdoc, Bordeaux): Earthy and warming, paired well with our vegetable risotto the other night.
So I continued to drink red despite the 90-degree heat wave over the weekend. I suppose you could call it denial, but I am just not ready to switch to rosé or white, or for that matter, turn on the air conditioning in April, for crying out loud.
