What We Are Drinking

margaux One joy of living in Chicago again is having access to excellent wine. Certainly we have access to poor wine as well, but the quality and variety of wine available in the USA exceeds that available in China by such a wide margin that the two are incomparable. We did not drink much wine in China since the selection was so disappointing in relation to the price. Also, beer is 50 cents a quart.

Linda and I visited the wine cellar over the weekend, rearranged the contents, added some new bottles, and brought some old bottles home. New to our stash is the 2002 Chateau Lascombes Margaux, a very good wine from what I understand was a difficult grape growing season in France. Good with cheese and red meat – we have tested it with both filet mignon and hamburger and quite enjoyed both combinations.

fincaOne of the better bottles I’ve had in a while made its way to our cellar from Spain. The 2003 Finca Sandoval from the Manchuela region is a great tasting wine – 80% Syrah, 9% Mourvedre, 7% Bobal, and 4% Tempranillo. This and a 2002 Box Stallion Pinot Noir I had during a trip to Melbourne, Australia earlier in the year are the two most enjoyable wines I’ve had in many months. I have not figured out how to acquire the Box Stallion in the USA.

Cheers.

  1. Dean and Linda,

    Having a ball reading your blog. I’m just moving from Shanghai to Beijing (8 months pregnant and recently left my job, but husband’s job is relocating). Not sure if you do responses at all, but if you have Mr. Super Ayi’s contact info, and if you continued to be satisfied with him, I’d love his info. I need to hire someone fast! Does he do babies, too? Just an odd day here or there, not a full-time nanny!
