me, right now...? this:

2005 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz-Cabernet

The 2005 Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is a classy red with many layers of aromas and flavors including red plum, tart pie cherry and a hint of cocoa on the long finish. Though it's not a big wine, I think it can hold its own with hearty fall foods such as braised meats and roasted lamb or pork shoulder.

right now, it's holding its own through this edge-of-seat evening, quite nicely, along with an occasional soupçon of skunky, 2008, from my regular guy.

so far, so good. everything's going real smoothly. smooth? whatever.

but from my rather more than casual reading of the trend of facts and wishes and factoids and linkys and all, over there on the big front page, I'm now projecting that this evening could progress to the point where it'd be time to haul out the a'bunadh

in a small, heavy cut glass with a few drops of spring water...and, of course, some of the old this.

so - with what, if anything, are you augmenting your evening, assuaging your angst, assisting your assessments...?

that, or pooties.

 
hey, pliz rfecommend this, if you think it'd be handy to keep around, eh? thanks!
