Sure, make me work to figure out what you're talking about. Went to Wine Spectator and searched on Rosenblum. Apparently they are a fairly eclectic bottler, with a wide range of varietals under the Rosenblum name--offerings from Napa, Sonoma, Santa Barbara, Lodi, lots of discrete vineyards and even "McLaren Vale" (?)

The Annette's Reserve is a Zinfandel. WS showed a 2000 rated at 86 and selling at $28.

Will look for more Rosenblum stuff. Haven't been on the S. side of town for a while. Luigi's just moved onto my short list. Been hitting Biaggi's regularly and choosing Italians from the "reserve list". Then going out and buying a case of whatever I've tried. It means dinner out with "she who must be obeyed" is running me around $600 after the wine purchases....

I'd bet the beef came to Luigi via Par Avion.

Sorry, I thought Rosenblum only made Zins! I meant to ask the server where they get their beef. My wife and I have been to Biaggi's once; we just rarely get up that far north of town. You'll have to stay home more often!
