Moonlighting

People who know me know that I love a) movies and b) wine. A certain someone named Francis Ford Coppola seems to have hit the jackpot, what with his legendary films like, oh, The Godfather, and also his own winery in Geyersville, Calif.
Bobby picked up a bottle made by Mr. Coppola, the 2007 Rosso, a zinfandel/syrah/cabernet sauvignon blend (about $9, 13.5 percent alcohol). It had notes of plum and honey, but the tannic blast gave me a case of cottonmouth. The label notes that his family has always made wine, "everyday wines," so I can't imagine he means for you to store this one in the cellar to wait for the tannins to smooth themselves out. At least he's got that movie career to fall back on.
