A few weeks ago, en route to Saginaw, we stopped at Cork-n-Ale, a really swell little store on M-47, and made some experimental purchases based on our own unique household wine research -- to wit, we looked for cheap wine with cool labels.But Peirano Estates' The Other is more than just a pretty face (or...um...whatever) on the shelf. It's an absolutely delightful wine that tastes more expensive than it is -- rich, plummy, blackberry-y, raisiny, with hints of tobacco and oak. We had ours with grilled lamb chops. It's definitely a wine we'll drink again.
But you might not want to donate that spare bottle to the church sacristy...at least not with the label intact.
Sounds like good stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd the nice old ladies who always seem to be the ones taking care of the sacristy could use a little excitement in their lives.
Besides, didn't Jesus himself say to turn the other 'cheek'? :-)
I'll have to keep an eye out for it, since the vineyard is out here in CA (near Lodi..."Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again")
