| | | | WHY WINE BLOG NOVEMBER 9, 2009 Why Wine: Joeshico Wine Review; Banfi Chianti Classico Reserve 2005 Shirley and I have been dining here for the last 10 years and it seems that the food just keeps getting better and better. Tonight I added another favorite place to eat in Syracuse, Joey's Italian Restaurant. Best of all is the fabulous and always changing wine list.

Jean California Merlot 2005 * This is by all accounts a good value and one worth picking up to host a dinner party, a wedding, a bar mitzavah, or the return of the prodigal son from his animal quest.
