Yet Another Great Canadian Wine

I was reading Nadia's blog; a great site about creativity and grand ambitions.  She had taken a picture to show how she personalized her hotel room while away at a convention; something that I do as well, but never thought to photograph.  So I did, and here it is:

This picture has been cropped to protect the identities of the not-so-innocent.

The wine is a Hester Creek 2004 Cabernet/Merlot.  The combination of Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes claims to taste of cherry blackberries, toffee, pepper.  My thoughts; very good, no pucker-bite, doesn't taste like smoke or wood and goes great with dark chocolate.  It was $18 where I purchased it but I noticed on the Hester Creek website that the MSRP is $16.

The chocolate is Green & Black's organic dark chocolate with 70% cocoa.  A friend who sampled it said that it was like eating oysters on steroids (hey....that may have been a pick-up line; I have to make a phone call).
