Yay, Newton

What goes up must come down.

The Euro has lost a lot of its value against the dollar in the past few months. Bad news for exports, but good news for imported wine. One of my most favorite wines in the world, I refused to buy at the holiday's based on price, not on quality. I just couldn't justify $100 a bottle for it. But today, I contracted to buy a bunch of Michele Castellani Amarone Stelle. This wine is only made in the best years. It is a red wine that is very strong with flavors of ripe dark fruit, earthy foresty, and well, just think of a mouthful of all the different flavors of jelly beans in your mouth at once. The price dropped 20 % to $ 80 a bottle. I am happy at this price. The wine is too strongly flavored to go with normal food. A Gorgonzola cream sauce on red meat or pasta works perfectly. Only thing is, this wine won't be in for a month, and you shouldn't drink it till the frost is on the pumpkin or the end of hurricane season,whichever comes later. In other words, wait til it is cold outside, the wine will warm you up.
