2003 La Corte Re

[Drew]

This wine showed very well last night with a meal of seafood linguini with red sauce which, If I say myself, was top restaurant quality. I made a portabello red sauce with crab meat hours before the meal. Just prior to serving I slowly re-heated the sauce and added bay scallops, shrimp and the stock made from the shrimp shells with white wine and garlic. Just before serving added some cream and red pepper flakes. Served with shaved Romano-Pecorino cheese. This wine paired beautifully and showed brighter flavors with snappy acidity minus the raisin nose and note, which almost makes me believe the first bottle was slightly oxidized. Eileen loved the meal as violent weather passed thru Ocean City.
