'99 Hop Kiln Marty Griffin's Big Red

[Innkeeper]

Popped our first one tonight. It was the '01 at the same price as Drew's '99. It was 65% Zin, 15% Alicante, 11% Cab, and 6% Pinot. Weighs in at a lighter 13.7% alcohol. An excellent all purpose red in the same league as Marietta Old Vine Red. Agree with WW that it would be great with the products of the barbie. Believe it or not, it is still too cool here for that. So, we matched it with broiled beef kielbasa, potato cakes, and salad with Russian Dressing. Wonderful.
