This is good. All good. I welcome the Rye recommendations and yes, the two you mentioned are easily/readily available in my neck of the woods, rather cheap, too. However, I haven't made it...

"Laura,

A mountain, eh ? Well it may just be a hill after my next visit! Just kidding.....

Just finished a mozzarella and tomato and basil salad (my first tomatoes from my yard) and drizzled (or I should say drenched) with Il P Olive Oil. It was the best dinner one could hope for.... reminded me of one thing and one thing only, Italy (I miss her so).... Hope to plan a trip next year!! Ci ved, Dan"

danpetroski reviewed Dumol Pinot Noir Finn 2006. (5/5)
On May 3

Dumol Pinot Noir Finn 2006

Starting at $99.99 Snoothrank: 4/5
danpetroski reviewed Shafer One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon 2006. (2.5/5)
On Apr 8

First: Brett. Beyond the flaw the wine is soft and elegant. Textured tannins. Chocolate balances the barnyard.

Shafer One Point Five Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Starting at $65.99 Snoothrank: 4/5
On Apr 8

First pass: Inviting straight from the glass. Pure fruit, a bit stressed. Short mid-palate. Good texture on the finish. Chewy. Second pass: Opening in the mid-palate and balancing out.

On Apr 8

First pass: A little hot, bordering on high-tone. However, soft and elegant in the mouth. Chewy tannins. Second pass: Nose beginning to soften, darken, evolving. Still a little stewy but...

danpetroski reviewed Outpost Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard 2006. (4/5)
On Apr 7

First pass: Dark and closed, shut down on the nose and the front of the palate, picks up with chewy tannins and a bit of bitterness. Second pass: Opening nicely, warmer and creamier, inviting,...
