I have been meaning to try Acme Chophouse @ the ballpark for quite a while. I took advantage of the Dine About Town promotion to have a meal there last Friday evening. I ended up ordering ala' carte, as I'm not eating desserts these days and the DAT menu had dessert. I ordered the Filet Mignon and it was good, but not fantastic. I always feel slightly ripped off in these high-end steak houses. Anyway, the evening was salvaged by trying a glass of 1977 Warre's Vintage Port.
It had a DEEP and dark color like an essence of port. It was rich, concentrated and lucious on the palate, with nice tannins, but a bit hot on the finish. Really good stuff. The 1977 Taylor Fladgate is supposed to be better. Now I am wondering, How Can This Be? I have two bottles of the Taylor and now I am really curious to try one. Regardless, I found the 1977 Warre VP to be really impressive. At this writing, K & L Wines has about a case of this available for $90 / bottle.
