What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published March 11, 2008 at 9:22 a.m.

This week's wine of the week is a simple red we picked up at the Holt Avenue Pick 'N Save for $8.99. RED is a 2004 blend from St. Francis Winery in Sonoma County.

The label calls it "a succulent blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and zinfandel ... packed with luscious ripe flavors and spicy aromas."

I didn't get much of the "spicy aroma" in this one since the bouquet was pretty nondescript, but found it decidedly light, and ever so slightly dry -- this is a good bottle to crack when you're eating seafood or fish and don't feel like drinking a textbook white.

It worked well with basic shrimp scampi, salad and rice on a Sunday night, and I'd pull it out again for a halibut or something similar, especially with a berry compote over the top that would work well with the slight berry tones in this bottle. Think spring with this one, and hopefully the warm weather will follow.
