Fresco Averoff Red 2008


What fun! How can you love anything more than a new fancy restaurant opening in the neighborhood, and trying it out on a cold, wintry Saturday evening with your lover? Here you'll see a captured photograph of our truly scrumptious meal -- for her, a tuna steak with lemony potato and mixed vegetables; for me, a steaming pot of mussels in cream sauce with mushrooms and bacon. Entirely delightful.

Fresco Averoff Red 2008: Odor mild -- a promising snifter, could be a good breakthrough (I'm thinking)! Upon imbibing... have enormous difficulty swallowing... the wine swirling painfully on the end of the tongue, unwilling to go down... and finally gulping it away. The throat doesn't admit to its existence -- but the mouth still burns with oaky, lingering vapors .

Cork top. Alcohol content 13%. Price about $14. Blechs 3/5.
