Now you know the BBQ ... what about the wines:

- 2003 Tommasi Valpolicella Ripasso (Italy) $26/bottle: Using the Ripasso (dried grapes) process makes this Italian classic a simple, fruity Valpolicella, with sweet, sticky plum fruit and a hint of fresh herb on the finish.
- 2003 Pacific Estates Petite Sirah (California) $21/bottle: This wine is big and bold while maintaining a smooth approach. Wonderfully complex and layered, it has aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, mint and tea. Only 850 cases made - An exclusive!
- 2003 Forefathers Shiraz (Australia) $26/bottle: Dense, but it seems to get more transparent with each sip. It has pepper and licorice overtones to the dark berry and cherry flavors; lingering enticingly (This was No. 63 on WS Top 100 of the year @ 91 points!)
- 2000 Cathedral Cellar Shiraz (South Africa) $17/bottle: This wine has a deep cherry-red color with a spicy, peppery nose, dominated by oak, plummy fruit and smokey leather nuances. An exclusive!
