Fairview Goats du Roam

[lizardbrains]

Some friends and I went to an Italian restaurant last night in Encinitas, and they let me choose the wine. We decided the cheaper the better, so I was hoping the wine would be good.

I chose the Fairview Goats du Roam (2002?/2001?) for $19. It's a red. Dry. Medium body & tannins? Anyways, it was great - my mouth really liked it! I had veal in a tomatoe sauce, and I thought it complimented just fine.

Which reminds me... does veal count as a red meat? (Even though the color of it is white?) It is beef, right? (but just a baby cow)

Has anyone heard of this wine? I thought it was delicious, and would love to buy some bottles for home.

By the way, this was the first time the waiter served the wine to me - showing me the bottle, opening it in front of me, giving me a taste, waiting for my approval, and then pouring for the table. I felt so smart!!!! (None of my friends know much about wine. Not that I know a whole lot, but I have made an effort to learn.)
