| WINE COLUMN |
by Mr. Wine
At this time
of year, with the holidays upon us,
anything is a reason to celebrate, and
what better way than with a bottle of
fine wine. Here are some gift suggestions
for the oenophile in the family:
Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape
1996, $85
A rich, complicated, fruity red that
within minutes gives you a good buzz.
After a couple of bottles I was
horizontal, lying in a puddle of my own
making. Highly recommended.
Antinori Toscana Solaia 1987, $140
An exquisite, full-bodied red from
Tuscany that'll get you there. They say
it's best after 2006, but I couldn't wait
for the cork to come out. Mix it with
ginger ale and rum and assign a
designated driver.
Thunderbird White
(Clear), 2000, $3
Utterly unpretentious, a simple,
uncomplicated white for those of you with
a preference for the lighter taste of a
chardonnay and its related varietals.
Goes well with half-finished burritos,
chicken or beef, whatever you don't mind
seeing again. Best enjoyed straight from
the bottle.
One thing to
remember about wine, whether white, red,
or a mixture of both (the way I like it),
you can't go wrong with the
fancy-sounding names, especially the
French ones. Happy New Year!
