A Gift

One of the great things about hosting a dinner party is the fact that people often bring gifts of wine!  Last night, with a sirloin steak, I opened up a great recent gift, a bottle of 2008 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel.  I never know what to expect with a Zinfandel - the grape can take on so many different flavors/styles in wine.  This one was a deep purple color with cherry and chocolate notes, and just a tiny bit of spice.  Again, Louise's reaction was "Yum."  So, thanks Frascatores!
