Late for Dinner

Jacob Gaffney  in White Wines, Verdaca , , ,

Some Italian friends recently decided to throw a dinner for to celebrate the birthday of InterWined’s Jacob Gaffney…and in true Italian fashion they arrived two hours late. Now count that and the fact that Mr. Gaffney’s birthday is in late June, this makes them more than two months and two hours late.

Better late than never.

The 2006 Menhir Verdeca (white wine grape) from Salento in Puglia, southern Italy (very southern Italy; the heel in fact), was served with the smoked fish and pasta. The wine went great, and since it was a gift: 8.8, with friends.

However, whenInterWined.com bought a bottle for review (we except no gifts), the wine seemed more flabby than fleshy this time round. The zip had turned hot, but the lemony hints and some tropical fruits saved the wine. It has a decent slow-medium finish and is very savoury.

But it was better the first time…8.4, without friends.
