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.
