Day 2: 2001 Antoine Arena “Carco Carco” Vin de Pays de L’Ile de Beaute, a Kermit Lynch estate. 100% Vermentino, and very expensive ($35 retail). Kermit controls the fine wine trade in Corsica for America. His other estate’s (Dme. Leccia) red has a large cultish following in Euroland, one restaurant friends and I ate in had over 10 year’s in vertical, but we drank 95 Truchot Charmes (which went great with the fish, but sent the wine guy into a tizzy, “You cant have red with with fish” The Wine Guy “Cant we please have the wine, were paying for??” Some Ugly American. It all started with the refusal of The Wine Guy’s offer of a whistle wetter of some herbs and booze, sorry Wine Guy in America its OK to drink Raveneau as an aperitif).

This wine is rich in texture and fruit, should go great with the monfish I bought right from the fisherman for $4 (the tail) yup four bucks and he skin’d if for me, caught this last night…..yahoo

Wines of Sakonnet Point: Day 1
Gatinois Rose : a cloudy day could not hold back the brightness of this wine, sipping this sunshine sent a hello to ever part of my tired body....
1999 Mascarello Freisa : (decanted 24 hours) a monumental wine, the only greater value to me is Briord Muscadet, in this world me know.... Sez Skinney
