So... Here I am at Jaime's wedding rehearsal in Queens.... Italian place off Woodhaven... 20 year old Amarone and at least 5-years past it's prime... Good, but showing signs of deterioration. Cherry, cedar, fruit, light tannins, nice finish... Carmine's wife tastes prunes and smells grappa.... Who knows, she thinks I look like Phillip Seymour Hoffman in my scarf... In my defense, I get to break out the scarf once a year in Boca... I've certainly had better Amarones...
