1998 Wirra Wirra "Church Block"

[Drew]

Popped our last magnum last night here in OC entertaining neighbors. Paired with Filet Mignon and Ahi tuna steaks. The wine is really singing showing deeper blackberry and currant flavors and an additional hint of red berry. Also the cocoa flavor has transformed into a dark chocolate one. Wine and food were a hit.
As a side note I have to tell you that this has been one crazy vacation. I arrived here 9 days ago taking antibiotics for a frontal sinus infection.2 days later I have a small breakout of ringworm fungus on my right rib area and right hand. Ok, I get an antifungus cream. Then I'm bitten by an unknown insect which goes to cellulitis. Ok, I get an antibiotic topic cream. The boat engine starts to act funny and marine guy wants to pull the boat and won't get it back prior to end of vacaction. Forget that marine boy. I throw 2 fuel additives in and engine acts normal again...water in gas tank. Last Monday Eileen and I get in my suv to go to dinner...dead battery. Thank God she brought her car in case she had to return to Baltimore with a Mom issue. Dinner was very good, BTW, at an OC restaurant called Liquid Assets. Did I mention the bad sunburn? Only exposed for 40 minutes. It's believed increased sensitivity caused by the antibiotics....life is good? 1 week to go.
