Great "mystery" wine!

[Puccino]

Wanted to pass along a little shocker I had this weekend at dinner. My wife and I were invited to dinner at a friend's home here and during the meal, we were able to try 3 different wines. Our starter was grilled sea bass served over a bed of arugula, all seasoned with olive oil and lemon juice. We opened a 1999 bottle of Cassis (white wine - a small port city in south of France). This wine was full of herbs, and balanced nicely with the fish.
The main meal was basically a large pot roast with andives and mashed potatos. The first red wine was a 9 year old St Emilion that was superb, but then he served up a decanted "mystery wine". After several failed attempts, we finally learned that this last red wine was from TEXAS!! Specifically, it was from Llano Estacado, and was a 1991 bottle of their Signature Red, a blend of C.S., merlot and C.F., I think. We were blown away - the first thing you notice after the wonderful smell was the slightly sweet taste of the wine. Not at all what I expected, and plus it went extraordinarily well with the cheese tray after dinner!
This was my very first exposure to a Texas wine, and I was very pleasantly surprised!

Happy eating/drinking!
