A dark, sumptuous drink for midwinter

We’ve never really written about wine before, so I may as well start tonight. This one was a sure winner.

I received this delightful 2003 Diamond Claret from the Food Arts Illy Galleria event last fall and finally opened it last week.

The smooth tannins and delicious blend surprised and delighted me. Deep red cherry and plum flavors on top of anise and … other spices … make this Bordeaux-style blend rock.

Trader Joe’s has a 2004 Coppola Claret for, if I’m not mistaken, under $15. I’ll be trying it out, and if I could find a fireplace, you’d find me drinking next to it.
