Wine and Monopoly

i took the Pepperwood Grove on a bit of a session last night when some friends came round for a game of monopoly. it proved to be a great social drop and i had a couple of light beers too which i kind of regretted until the morning as i woke completely fine.
i had been into town earlier that day to get a couple of bottles and to see if the shop had had any more Zin to offer. unfortunately this was not to be and i settled for the Pepperwood Grove. Not to worry as im going back to the sticks at the weekend and i know a good little wine shop that im hoping may have something for me.
while in the the shop another bottle had caught the eye and reminded me of a cracking bottle that i received off fellow wine enthusiast Thud.
the Cabernet Franc that Thud had passed on to me had left an impression and this grape that is commonly used in blends for the Bordeaux of such(iv been doing some homework, i impress myself) has a distinct taste and iv wanted more.
however if this is to the standard of that i tasted we will have to see, and im sure it will come up in some discussion with Thud.
so the wine, well its a 2006 Argentinean wine by Dona Paula. i have yet to open it and taste as i have just finished of the remains of last nights wine so there will be a post to follow in the week.
oh and just so you know i lost at the monopoly and my partner as always cleared up, she is a ruthless business woman.
