I hate to be tough on the Dorigo - it was very smooth and balanced, as should be expected at that price, but it just lacked the complexity of the other two, and seemed to be low in acid. I think I saw you pick the Canuck out - well done - glad it helped with the Crokinole! Looking forward to the next one.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27657184.post-31194270178952800842008-02-12T19:25:00.000-05:002008-02-12T19:25:00.000-05:00I gotta catch up with these... sorry for the delay...I gotta catch up with these... sorry for the delay.<BR/><BR/>What a great night that was!<BR/><BR/>Agreed on the best wine. And I agree on the best dinner wine too. The Canuck was totally my style but I had to worship that Tuscan in the end. The Dorigo was tea leafy -- I'm glad you noted that. I think it would've been better not trying to compete with the extraction and richness of the other two. But bottom line it just wasn't quite as good especially since they're asking for $49.50 for it, not $39 (but on sale downtown for $34 at the moment -- a more reasonable price).<BR/><BR/>You weren't there but I think Cam was my witness. I singled out the Canuck wine like the true patriot I am. (Actually it was more that it didn't seem Italian to me while the other two had markings in my mind.) Anyway, it was the confidence I got from that which lead to my inspired Crokinole play. What can I say -- when you're on, you're on.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.com
