Wine to go with Pasta

[Innkeeper]

Well, we popped the puppy tonight, and the timing was perfect. Thanks WW. It wasn't a great wine, but it was a wonderful one, lead capsule and all. Had it with dinner, French country sausage (made by butcher at our local coop), and salad with raspberry-hazelnut dressing. Because there was sediment all over the neck and sides of the bottle, we poured the whole thing through a coffee filter into a carafe. The wine was still brilliant red with only a hint of brown. It was perfectly smooth and complex, and lingered on the finish. We only get to do this sort of thing once or twice a year, and since nobody showed up to share it, and since summer was over, we did it! We still have a "La Chapelle", Hermitage from the same vintage. Any recommendations?
