Wine:

1. Campion 2001 Edna Valley Pinot Noir Firepeak Vineyard
   Typical California Pinot. Very good, but not really that much better than the
   Martin Ray we got for 1/3 the price.


2. Domaine Andre Brunel 2003 Cotes du Rhone
   Grenache & Syrah blend--nice fruit, almost honey-like finish. "Staff favorite" from Vin Vino Wine in Palo Alto & at `$14 a bottle, I can definitely see why.
