with a friend of ours at Shooter Mcgees in Alexandria, VA, and having a busy day of christmas shopping and wine tasting planned tomorrow, the wife and I settled in for some good Friday night T.V.
To our disappointment there was nothing good on, so as we sulked we'd decided on opening some wine and and choose a free on-demand movie. After sorting through the extensive free movie list on Comcast, we pick the 1980 classic, "Blues Brothers." To sooth our disappointment with the T.V. selection we opened a great drinking wine from Chateau O'Brien winery in Markham, VA.
The 2008 Padlock Red was a little less approachable than the previous years vintage, but then again 2007 was a great vintage across the state. The nose was a bit weak with red fruit and spice, but the wine did not disappoint. It displayed red fruit with with firm tannins and many cooking spices. A great tasty treat to share while watching a classic 80's flick.
