Tonight, dinner consisted of BBQ baby back ribs from the smoker, roasted
sweet potato and salad. To accomany this meal, Jean chose the following
wine:

2001 Ridge Zinfandel Pagani Ranch
nose: pencil lead, plums, raisins, tar
palate: ripe fruit, acids, medium body

Jean wanted a Zinfandel to accompany the ribs (rubbed with a fairly
spicy dry rub) but avoided the more complex ones in the cellar.
Instead, we got a very ripe (but not overripe) and direct Zin. Not bad
with the ribs.
