Default Le Potazzine Gorelli - Brunello Di Montalcino 1997

I got out of the office early on Tuesday evening, got in my Mercedes
E550 and continued home. When I opened the door much to my surprise
Betty had a surprise for me waiting on the dinner table. What a dinner
she rolled out for me...we started with some mashed potatoes, gravy
and biscuits from KFC. The potatoes had a hint of pepper in them and
the gravy was thick and yummy. She next broke out some corn on the cob
from Boston Market..I just love the crispiness on each kernel on that
corn. Then she brought out the main dish....for me she had a Big Mac,
large fry and Mc nuggets with honey mustard on the side. She had a
Whopper with Cheese and two regular Arby's roast beefs with their
classic au jus, as she's dieting. Absolutely breathtaking meal!
To wash this all down we broke out a bottle of Le Potazzine Gorelli -
Brunello Di Montalcino 1997. It worked well with the special sauce in
my Big Mac. Had a nice nutty but fruity texture and after taste. It's
roundness was especially good as it worked just as well with the Mc
nuggets and Betty's Whopper. A+ to A++

Wow, a lot of work hitting all those places. Wouldn't it be simpler to
cook?

I thought the '97 Gorelli Le Potazzine was impressive, but not my
style- BdM posing as CalCab.
