It's been a while since I've had a REALLY nice glass.... actually about a year. I SOOO fell in love with the local (but alas, non-importable) table wines that we had at some of the smaller restaurants in Italy. They were the Be All and End All of great red wine... My tastes probably aren't the most sophisticated, but I know what's good with a perfect cut of steak or carbonara... and folks... I'm sorry to say... it's not ANYTHING you'll find over here in the states. Even the vineyard that we visited in Provence had a (gasp) great WHITE.... (double gasp!!!) It was truly brilliant... but I digress....
One of my favorite shops here in Mandeville is Martin's. They have a very knowledgeable staff and have never lead me wrong. This is my favorite Pinot Noir.
So,... if you ever run across it.... buy it by the case... it's THAT good. Not super cheap, but fantastic.
Might have to go pay a visit to Martin's today......
Have a lovely day, and join me for a glass (or 3) in spirit, tonight!

Matt is the Pinot lover of the family, I'll have to be on the look out for him.
I will join you, but I will have to drink soda!
Alcohol interferes with medicine I take, so none for me :-(

I don't drink, but you almost make me want to try a glass : )
Tonya, you have 7 kids and you're not drinking yet? I am REALLY impressed! LOL!!!! Just kidding... I'm not a huge drinker either, but I do like a good glass of wine...Particularly if there's steak or Italian being served! and occasionally a good margarita if we're out at our favorite Mexican place. :-)... my limit is 2 med. sized ones though.... I've tried 3.... it's not pretty!
