WTN: NV Bonny Doon Vineyard, Recioto of Barbera

NV Bonny Doon Vineyard, Recioto of Barbera, Monterey, California, $25 (500 ml). This deeply hued wine is very intense on the nose and palate. You’ll find dried berries, raisins, and a flavor best described as “Port with a pickle.” Delightful balance; 85/85.

What an interesting wine, Randy. I love that TN -- "port with a pickle." Exactly right. They had this wine on the dessert list at Baleem, a sea food joint in Coconut Grove. Couldn't resist the Bonny Doon name -- and then I found your absolutely perfect descriptor on my return home.

Thanks. Bob

I love that TN -- "port with a pickle."

Funny how the neurons are tweaked -- that was what came to mind, strange as it may seem.

You captured it exactly. I asked Janet -- she agreed.

Thanks again.

And if anyone here should know about tweaked neurons......

Don't make me have to spill the beans about you and the ferret. I still have the photos.
