I like the Santa Cristina but it might be fun to try the (generally available
in my area) Monte Antico. Thanks for the suggestion.

We're having an red Italian dish tonight. Went to the cellar to get a bottle of
Santa Cristina ... and it was all gone! :-(
I was in a crisis until you and Marc Branch suggested a Zin. I have some bottles
of Cline Ancient Vines Zin going "way back" to 1997. Might be a good night to
pop a cork on one of those.
Cheers,
