I heard "Roadrunner" by the Modern Lovers on the radio ("...dont feel so alone, got the radio on, like the roadrunner...") and it made me think of driving through Massachusetts last year checking out wineries (yes, wineries in MA)...likely with the radio on. It reminded me I had some bottles still to try like this one from @blackbirchwines in North Hatfield. So I went to the basement wine racks (sounds less pretentious than wine cellar) and grabbed this Merlot. It was pretty good on opening but with some airtime, came together nicely and was even better on Day 2, still with lively fruit, nice acidity and soft tannins. Served with grilled lamb chops and roasted fennel and potatoes. As Jonathan Richman sang from my radio, about a different type of airtime, "I'm in love with Massachusetts, I'm in love with the radio on."
