2004 Librandi Duca SanFelice Ciro
$20 Ohio. Garnet red in color with some deeper colors at the core. Mostly clear and bright. The nose has tar and cherries but not in a Barolo way. More like the smell of freshly paved smoky tart. Also notes of chocolate. On the palate, this is mostly cherries, sour cherries and a bit of bitter cherries (in a good way). The finish has a pleasant bitterness that begs for food. Not a profound wine, although it is young. Plenty of old world enjoyment out of this bottle. At $5 less it would be a steal, at the $20 Ohio price I am not buying more. You may want to check your pricing in the free world.

2004 Bodegas Pinord +7 Priorat
$40 Ohio. Purple/ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has vanilla, cherries, and raspberries. Also a ton of oak/cedar. Full bodied. On the palate, this has a lot of alcohol showing (14.5%) and seems out of whack. Some cherry fruit with raspberries. For the most part, alcohol and oak dominate here. Will this settle out with time? I dont know, but I am glad I dont only own any more.

Omigod. Highway robbery. Pinord has been voted 'worst winery whose products we've ever tasted' by elmundovino's tasting committee...

You're asking them to pay you? What am I missing?

Why did you buy two such clunkers in the first place?

You can't really complain!

I can't believe VS used "omigod." The world is going to hell.

Ask her what the Z in ZOMG!!! stands for, would you please?

She's going to say "nothing," isn't she?

 

[Joe Dressner]

Where's Joe Perry tonight?

This is just the spot where a reference to 1970s sci-fi film based on action figures would be perfect!

 

[Scott Kraft]

She says zombies. As in zombies, oh my god or simply ZOMbies god!

 

[Scott Kraft]

That's good. That's the best I've heard. I'm going with it from now on.

She's a bright kid being groomed for life as an IM expert apparently

Do they have a special currency in Ohio?

I've been living in this forlorn southwestern corner of Europe for the past 33 years, so my usage of English has remained in a quaint, archaeological state - sorry, guys.

Thanks. Edited above to say $5. While I would not mind being paid, at $15, this would be a nice drink.
