Viticulture

Uncle is over here for the cousins' spring break. Nothing like a trip to Vegas to celebrate the DPP victory. Got together for dinner at Saigon Seafood Harbor Restaurant, which actually doesn't have anything to do with that city in Vietnam. It's good old HK-style seafood. I love their chinaware. Nice, heavy stuff that's not restaurant-generic. Of course, uncle broke out a bottle out of the cellar (a.k.a. unfinished basement) for the occasion. It's unfortunate that all the stir-fried and steamed seafood make for just about the worst possible pairing with the Bordeaux red. On the other hand, I wasn't going to quibble over a chance to chug some 1998 St. Emilion Premier Grand Cru, either. It beats the hell out of Two-Buck Chuck, and I thought it had a more complex nose and flavor than our regular Costco specials. The latter impression could just be the placebo effect at work, though.
