LE BOCCE

[Cadell]

I decided to try something different last night from the merlot and zin's that have been sofar the majority of this newbie's trials and bought a bottle of 99 LE BOCCE chianti.

I actually didn't plan on buying it actually went in to purchase and try a CAB(at$12 not to sure how good a deal I got) but when I arived at the wine shop, the woman there had just opened a bottle, and after having a pleasant discussion with her, she offered me a glass and I must say it was rather pleasant so I purchased a bottle.

I haven't really gotten to the point of being able to identify the types of individual flavors real well yet but it had a very nice overall flavor( I had it with a nice porterhouse, not sure if they are considered a pair, but they went well together according to my taste buds).

I think I will go back this weekend and purchase another bottle of chianti, any thoughts on which I should try next? I will be lightin the BBQ again tomorrow so it will go with more than likely either another porterhouse or veal with a light rub in of pepper and garlic.
