Rollin' Yer Own...

[Innkeeper]

Couldn't find the thread, but a couple of years ago, my brother was up and we served a dish that we had previously enjoyed with a Cab/Shiraz blend from Oz. The cellar was devoid of such, but there was a Shiraz and an inexpensive but decent California Cab. So, they went into two caraffes, half and half. It was a perfect match with the dish, and quite enjoyable as a blend. Owned up to what I had done, and brother couldn't believe it. Said it was the best wine he'd had in some time. Haven't tried anything like that since.
