More Questions - Late Night Version

Now I'm a few sheets to the wind with a bottle of our killer, off-dry sparkler under my belt (literally), but I'm still awake as I sip on the leftovers of Saturday's tasting - a stellar and well-out-of-my-price-range bottle of 2006 Guigal Cote Rotie "La Mouline."  Seriously, the fact that I'm sipping on $300 wine while watching Mad Men on Comcast On Demand is pretty nice, especially with this recent NorCal heat.  It's still around 80 degrees outside and we're approaching my bedtime.  As I linger in ruby red fruit, hints of roasted meats, and seamless tannic structure, I wonder a bit beyond the day's earlier insights.  Now I've got No Country For Old Men on TV muted and watching Javier Bardem with his mushroom haircut is starting to freak me out.  I need to focus on typing here.
