Wine and fighter jets?

Yesterday the Air Force Thunderbirds came to Fort Lauderdale for the annual Air Show. I took this picture from the 19th floor balcony of L'Hermitage condo an the beach. Wow! What a great show and a great afternoon. We drank wine and watched these incredibly dedicated and talented pilots fly right by us. Amazing power and grace....just like the 2008 Aurielle!

A great time was had by all at Hugh's catering Thursday. The food, wine and company were fantastic!

AURIELLE

Cabernet Sauvignon

 Napa Valley 2008

$90.00

Rich and complex, deep and boasting plenty of still youthful yet outgoing curranty fruit, this wine is about as close to classic as a wine of its size and expressiveness is likely to get. Its keen focus on varietal character is matched by the supportive, wonderfully complementary oak in its makeup, and if a wine of size, it is also a wine of great sophistication. That it comes with a fairly evident wash of latter palate tannins is neither a surprise nor a problem because the wine's depth is matched to its lean underlying sense of balance. A decade or more of growth would seem to be in the offing with this one.

Introducing the 2008 Aurielle Cabernet Sauvignon

Precious gifts

Last week I received a very special order. It was attached to the following e-mail:

We would like to purchase 2 bottles please.

We named our daughter who was born on Sept 9, Aurielle.  We read really good
reviews about your wine and would like to purchase a few bottles every year,
so we can keep it and enjoy them with her when she grows up.

Thanks,
Hendry & Melanie

Congratulations Mom and Dad. She's beautiful!
