I hate titles...

..but I love good wine! Which is why not much thought has gone into this week's title. Pfffttt... On to the wine.

Anyway, it's been a good wine week, thus far. Last Friday, we opened the second bottle of William Hill Aura 1997 Cab (see previous post for review). Second time around it was perfect. But, at $80, we're all done. For now. It was worth it, and we highly, highly recommend this wine.

Tonight, I wasn't in the mood to cook, save for mac-n-cheese for the kids. Daryl ordered subs and stopped at our wine shop to pick up a bottle. McLaren Vale Kangarilla Road 2004 Shiraz ($21). We love strong, dry Shiraz and this was excellent. Peppery--as one would expect--exciting (Daryl's words), delicious.

This weekend, we're having dinner with friends...enjoying a quiet weekend before the upcoming Colts vs. Bears event. Our friends, who are moving to California (close to Napa, lucky!), are opening a special bottle. Looking forward to that.

Until Saturday...
