ok Randy, see if i pass your little hazing ritual, BTW - nice write up in Wine & Spirits ( got your name wrong however ) still a good plug for your NY place.

EBERLE 1996 SAURET ZINFANDEL
caramelized sugar & herb garden nose, great acid fruit balance, lingering finish of tar & black fruits. ready to go now $14 ///+
(charred or spice/herb/rub cured game meats)

CINNABAR 1996 ESTATE CHARD
toasty earthy nose, fresh green apple & oak palate. big oak on the finish. a big chard from a little winery
needs to soften. $17 // - pricey
( too big for food)

ZIND-HUMBRECHT 1996 GEWURZTRAMINER
incredible - big floral/apricot/pineapple nose. mouthful of dried fruits, grapefruit & almost effervescent chervil/fennel quality.
$18 ////++++ a steal.
(cries for fennel crusted pork & dried figs)

that is a pretty good representation, i have'nt been tasting the last week or two due to my being plastered on a daily basis (height of season)with work load. i'll become more of a regular when things let up after easter. enjoy your comments.....
