Before i go any farther got to see SweeneyTodd at the Lyric hall and I have to sayit was an interesting piece of theatre...having known the music since i was a baby I was interested to see how they staged it...very stark and minimalistic with the actors being the musicians also. the singing and such was incredible but the staging was a little....lacking some soul...anyway
Tom from Bodi brought by
Felice Acier Chardonnay Chalk Hill 05 Acier is french? for steel... this is an unoaked chard with light malo...very burgundian in style. i marked a quick finish too
Carol Shelton Wild Thing Zin 04 Mendocino Pretty purple in color, briary in the nose and palate. a little mocha and blackberry. High alcohol but not on the palate.
2008 is the year of the rat and to celebrate you can try some of these new wines from China. They are made with noble grapes, chardonnay and cabernet. the winery is called Dragon's Hallow.
