Birthday Treat

All I want is the paper and the ribbons Ditto

Gaia and Hania came across today, bearing gifts – including a box of two wonderful red wines: Bohorquez 2005 from Spain, and Pleiades XVI, made by Sean Thackeray in Bolinas, California. As one wine retailer says of the latter, “Named for the Pleiades star cluster (also called the Seven Sisters) this wine is a blend of syrah, sangiovese, mourvèdre, barbera, carignane, petite sirah and viognier, among others. Thackrey blends by taste and doesn’t keep track of the fruit that ends up in each blend so it’s different from year to year. Juicy fruit, earth and Thackrey’s signature eucalyptus note.”  Haven’t go to that yet, but a glorious day – am inclining to having my 60th birthday every year.
