I stopped at Scotto's, my favorite Italian food restaurant this evening. I love their Lasagne it is enough for two people. I had a chianti, the Ruffino Chianti Riserva Ducale Tan. Love that stuff.
 
I had some of the Ruffino Chianti Riserva Ducale Tan last week, I have to say it is a nice wine with food, especially Italian food, not too pricey. I don't often drink Chianti because it always reminds me of liver and fava beans after the second glass.
 
Opened up a 2009 Eponymous Cab.  Very nice napa cab.  It was on sale at my local pusher.  I cracked one and will be going back for more before the sale ends.  A winner. :thumbs:

Very nice smooth wine, not exactly bursting with flavor, more subtle but very smooth.  
 
Martinborough Pinot 2006
 
Enjoyed a bottle of 2009 Chateau De Rochemorin Bordeaux. While I won't spend a plug nickle for a bottle of French wine, I was gifted a few bottles about 5 months ago by one of the guys I work with. This is a nice Cab & Merlot blend which needed a good amount of time decanted. Then you get a medium bodied, earthy red. Went perfect with a Monti #2 last time and smoked a Lusi with it the other night.

Resurrecting this one again. I'll try and be better about keeping this one active. It's a shame I have but one liver to give CP.

Malibu Rocky Oaks Cab, 2016. I bought this one not really knowing what to expect. I know it shouldn't, but the twist off cap made me suspicious. Knowing it's from Lodi, CA, with some years on it, and a cab, I figured it was worth the gamble. When I uploaded a pic of it to an app I have on my phone (Vivino), I was pleasantly surprised to see it had solid ratings (overall average of 4.2 out of 5). This one is big and bold and a pleasure. Maybe it's because I wasn't sure what to expect but this one is impressing me a whole lot.

I do, I just don't remember to post up a pic in this thread. More than likely we'll open a bottle tonight. Costco had a box set of 4 bottles of bordeaux for ~$38. I mean, I don't know much about bordeauxs, and yeah, they might not be the greatest bottles ever, but for that price I'm certainly willing to explore some French bordeauxs and odds are they'll at least be decent bottles.
