re: Wines I've had in the past week or so

The Saldo and Palermo are very good wines. Prisoner has become my middle of the week hanging aroung the house wine which is making my budget bloated. I'm an Orrin Swift fan.

The Mercury Head is very hard to find but it is exquisite so make the investment and enjoy it at the appropriate time.

The Library Burgess is a great one as are all the Burgess wines. I had the Library with a beef tenderloin and it was made for that. I have about a half dozen of those and only open with a hunk of rich meat. They also have a very moderately priced Petite Syrah that is very good as well. Calandro's and I believe Whole Foods is carrying Burgess.
