Eh.

Sometimes you just want a bottle of wine. I was headed home to watch the Monster Tuesday coverage (CNN ended up being the best--Julie was really turned off by how ABC seemed really fond of ole Mikey Huckleberry) and I wanted a big bottle. The Kinton Syrah from Sunday had been good, but at $20 I wasn't about to get another one just for this, so I thought I'd get the Vincente Syrah, or something like that. But Sip was closed, damn them (sure it was 9:30 and they close at 9, but I wanted wine!) so I just cracked the Jelu pinot noir I picked up cheap at Astor.

Eh. Especially before it got some air into it, this was thin stuff. Fruit at the start, almost a watery finish. Air helped, but it never lasted long in the mouth. When it comes to wine I'm not always a believer that you get what you pay for, but this was some boring stuff.
