Not a great image here, but I wanted to talk about the wine on the left. The 2005 Chateau Haut-Piquat from Lussac Saint-Emilion.
It is 65% merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cab Franc. This wine retails just under $20 dollars.
I bought a case for the house for special occasions. You know, like when we are entertaining or for fancy dinner nights. So far I've had a bottle every night the last three nights and, um, we had pizza. In our sweatpants. In front of the t.v. Not exactly special, right?
Anyway, it's from that 2005 vintage that was so good, and it's also one of those right bank wines that's ready to drink now. So it looks like that's exactly what we're doing. Drinking it all now!

Here we go...I found a better image of the label. Very traditional label, very pretty.

Nice ripe fruit, perfect amount of tannin. Love this little wine.
