BNO

Boys Night Out. I am lucky to have joined a second BNO to um, er, compliment my first group of BNO. The BNO I attended on Thursday was wonderful. Like the other too much food wine and fun.

Surprise of the night was the Desiderio Merlot 2001 by Avignonesi from Tuscany. I had this wine in Italy, years ago and was impressed by its weight, style, flavor and all around wicked goodness. I have had it 3 times back here in the states and have been dissappointed each time.

The other night, it was spectacular! I enjoyed it more than the Chateau le Pin 1990 and I prefer older wines to younger.

$49.99 for the Avignonesi. Only one bottle left. If it is not gone by next week, it will be gone down my gullet.
