Aug 4 is Mrs. Vino's B-day and my brother and his wife invite us over for a barbeque. He had an informative loose-leaf binder of all the wines he had received from the WSJ wine club. (Here's my first digression - Q - How stupid is it that wine can be received via the mail in Mass - but only if it is sent from within Mass? A. Very stupid!) The binder contained a great write-up of each wine from the WSJ club and my brother gave me the option - is it my birthday? - to pick a wine to go with our grilled surf (tuna) and turf (filet) dinner. Cool! I thought a Pinot would do the best job riding the wave between these foods. The award winning vintner employs a gaggle of geese to keep pests off his precious grapes in the San Antonio valley of Chile - and thus the wine is organic. Very nice spice - likely from a bit of oak aging - and this gives the wine some heft and a bit of a silky texture to go with the outstanding grilled food. You'll find this wine being sold through many of the various wine clubs that are popping up. I hope you live in state that has reasonable shipping laws so that you might be able to order it.
