Winery info

[Randy Caparoso]

Well, Nancy, now I can't resist relating some inside info on the Bonny Doon Roussanne. The '97 is a big one, alright -- last fall showing honeyed, dripping apricot pit and floral intensities, but finishing slightly rough and alcoholic. Would definitely need substantial food (roasted chicken, squab, or freshly herbed pork loins) to absorb the size. It was Grahm's second picking from seven year old vines, and so subsequent vintages will be even better. Am I overkilling you with info? If you'd rather I'd let you be surprised, please let me know.
