Thanks for the TNs. I'm not familiar with Albini Family, but will
look it up.
I seem to have pretty bad fortune with CA Merlots, Duckhorn and
Phelps, being
exceptions.

The steaks sound delish! I usually dust in a bit of cocoa powder,
along with
the coffee. I have also learned that my new coffee grinder doesn't do
espresso
grind fine enough - gotta' get the DeLongi fixed!!!! Now, I get
Starbucks to
do a really fine espresso grind on a French roast (often decaf for my
wife).

I agree about the Moscato d'Asti, for US$10, one cannot go too far
wrong for a
sparkler.

Again, thanks,
Hunt


I've been to Albini WInery (it's just a small building on their
propery. They only make 500 cases of wine a year so it can be a
challenge to find. I was there with a friend who knows the family so
they opened a couple of ultra-low release Zin(I think they said 50
cases) which was really terrific.
