Bigger Is Better

It's the Italian way. The Bob part of me wanted a big family. He had 2 kids of his own, married me and got 2 more. Against J-dog's beliefs (he doesn't think "older" women can have kids??), we are having another. It was my 40th birthday present. (haha). We thought we would see how many more we can have before our time runs out. I am due October 18th, but I'm predicting the first week in October. Bets are on if anyone wants to join in.
That being said, my wine blogging is going to be limited to tasting. You may have noticed that I've been away for a while. I am feeling better now and up to the task of tasting wines for everyone else's enjoyment again, aren't you all lucky? In the meantime, J-dog said he would be back to contribute so look for his posts too.
I'll start with this one. Rioja Cortijo III 2005. Tempranillo. Italian. Very good. Very smooth. Ripe fruit, nice finish. Full bodied and well worth the $10. I recommend it!
