Ridge Monte Bello Retrospective (Porter House): I think this wine suffered a bit coming on the heels of the PS which was all pepper and spice and then this was fruit and perhaps seemed even more fruity right after that. Darker and intense. Blackberry. Honestly for me it was almost a bit much (our bottle was not at all rustic as the previous note said). But fun to try.

Memorial Day weekend Sunday BBQ with Steve, Sue, Mike, Rachel and John and Linda. Baby Back ribs Hudson valley veal sausage, Astoria Greek Sausages, salad, etc. Served '04, '05 and '06 Carmichael - I enjoyed '04 the best - all were fine with the BBQ. - This bottle a special treat broughtby Stevie. Some browning - very little fruit - some on the nose and early on the palate. Nice treat.
