We are so thrilled.<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to mention it on our site until mid-April, just before our first column appears in the May issue.<BR/><BR/>Neat, eh?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666374510867766190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-28900864049985088652008-03-10T23:24:00.000-04:002008-03-10T23:24:00.000-04:00Joe,I had the chance to sample the 06 vintage of t...Joe,<BR/><BR/>I had the chance to sample the 06 vintage of the Pavillion over the weekend. Similar, perhaps less extracted, but it was at a party -- not the best venue to write a review of it. Still cheaply priced though.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-86034493556575059652008-03-06T18:16:00.000-05:002008-03-06T18:16:00.000-05:00Hey Joe, I do that too.Thanks Kelly -- Alex is in ...Hey Joe, I do that too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Kelly -- Alex is in good hands.

This was my cheapie go-to before I started on my $12 adventure. I find wines like this overwhelming for many meals, but stand up well to a simply-prepared steak - actually, in this case I would go for grilled lamb (yes, I do pair my food to the wine I want to drink!)Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-56003310666811666532008-02-28T12:47:00.000-05:002008-02-28T12:47:00.000-05:00I did not realize you ever had tasted this, what w...I did not realize you ever had tasted this, what with the 05s in limited amounts flying off shelves, so this is a really cool link. Thanks for sending it! (I actually remember reading it but forgot and then didn't become acquainted with this wine until late last year -- it was pretty much too late for my Top 5 of the year but it clearly could've been in the top under twenty, no doubt!)<BR/><BR/>You call it meaty which I can see -- there's definitely a lot of iron. And you are right about the BBQ and all the rest though I know some people who think it's overwhelming, and with some food, it can throw you off.<BR/><BR/>I've got myself three bottles left to last me through the next grilling season.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-46996436038754061912008-02-27T17:21:00.000-05:002008-02-27T17:21:00.000-05:00Loved this wine.
