Monday was my birthday, so we've pulled a couple of nice bottles lately. First was a 2005 Domain Raymond Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf-Du-Pape we enjoyed with lamb chops. This wine had just the right age for me, very smooth and drinkable.
The next night brought filets done on the little Weber, which is the perfect filet-grilling device. What wine? 2006 Pride Mountain Vineyard Merlot. SO good! Can you tell that we still like some size to our reds? We visited Pride Mountain last spring and it's a gorgeous place.

The vineyards and winery straddle the Sonoma and Napa County lines. The drive up and back down is a bit hairy, but the views and the cave tour are worth it. The merlot we drank Monday was labeled 58% Sonoma and 42% Napa.
