WINE NOTES
2005 Melini Chianti
San Lorenzo
100% Sangiovese. Aged in a combination of oak casks, barriques and
steel -- giving the wine a modern twist with Tuscan roots. The
founder of this winery actually helped to develop the quintessential
straw-covered flask that is synonymous with traditional chianti.
(The straw-covered flask allowed for shipping, opening up the wine
market considerably.) Has a pronounced raspberry and blackberry
bouquet with hints of violet and iris. Goes well with meat sauce,
antipasto and other dishes where full-flavored proteins are featured
– a great match with the Asian spaghetti.
2003 El Coto de Rioja Crianza
100% Tempranillo. Aged
first in steel vats, then in oak to give it character. Ripe
strawberry and raspberry nose with a vanillin note. Palate is
smooth, balanced, fresh, dry and clean. Great with grilled veggies
and lighter proteins – pairs well with the carpaccio and snapper.

tomatoes, thyme, soy sauce and enough olive oil to coat; check

mixture; stir to melt vegetables. Season snapper with salt and
pepper. Using aluminum foil as your "papillote" lay down a 1/2

fillet, then top with fillet. Drizzle additional olive oil on
fish, fold en papillote and seal well. Place packages into
baking dish and pour in about 1/2-inc water. Bake in oven until
