Restaurant Wine List

[Botafogo]

Trying to make a food friendly wine list with just Sonoma stuff will be very tough (but not as hard as just NAPA), kind of like trying to write War and Peace with a vocabulary of five hundred words. Try at LEAST to get some cool climate, higher acid, more aromatic Mendocino stuff in. And get tight with Lou Preston, he has some stuff that works great with food. AND, it is hot up there and a great dry rose is a better solution to most food in that weather than ANY Chardonnay.

To quote Sonny Boy Williamson, "Don't start me to talkin', I'll tell everything I know"....
