The Buzz on Wine
Kelly and I dined at a spectacular Southwestern (Santa Fe) restaurant here in town called Agave on Saturday evening. It was the fourth or fifth time we have enjoyed their hospitality, but this visit was notable for the outstanding red wine suggested by our server: Tittarelli Tempranillo Reserva 2003. We were told that the grape was originally grown in Spain, in the area of Rioja. It has only recently been resurrected as a wine grape, due to the overwhelming demand for Argentinean wines forced the rediscovery of the potential of this grape.
Its flavor is BIG, with aggressive tannins, but is well-balanced, and aromatic. Very velvety mouth-feel with notes of wild fruit, black plums, cherries and raspberries. Gives a good buzz.
It was $35 at the restaurant, so I suspect it can be purchased in the $15-20 range at a jug shop. I highly recommend it!

I saw one Prius in Ohio. Of course there are more, but it is obvious that trucks (including SUVs and the giant “minivans”) outnumber cars by at least two to one.
