the Four Tops

I think we all liked the Pinot Noir best of all, perhaps because that was the first one we opened, so I will start with that one. Clear, delicate, highly drinkable, this 2006 Argentine beauty came in a sparkling clean bottle with a real cork. Our wine book says that the 2006 Argentine vintage (as of early 2007) was looking to be one of the best of the last 100 years, so we were expecting a lot from it, perhaps, especially at 14,90$ a bottle for this Trapiche from Mendoza. Who the hell writes the copy for their label, though? "La majesteuse silhouette du condor planant au dessus des hauts sommets des Andes represente l'oiseau symbolique qui protege notre vaste vignoble" (sans accents). I dunno. Just bring me another bottle.
