Wednesday we were both beat, and pizza seemed the best option. I
picked up a sausage and mushroom pie, and opened the 2004 Terrabianca
Campaccio (Toscano IGT). Black cherries and plums, fresh acidity,
showing a bit too much toasty oak for me. Pretty decent wine, a little
too modern, but good length and concentration. B

Thursday she made roast chicken with roasted beets and roasted
potatoes with garlic, along with a green salad (which was not
roasted). Wine was the 1999 Lafouge " La Chapelle" Auxey-Duresses
1er. Pretty floral/cherry blossom nose,but quite thin at first. With
air it put on some weight, though still on the lighter side for '99.
Fresh raspberries and a dollop of kirsch, some baking spices. Not
especially long, could use a bit more oomph, but pretty enough, and a
good backdrop for the food. Gets earthy and a bit richer later in
evening. It's possible this is just tight and needs more time. B/B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
