Bought me some wine or Four Vines rocks!

I did a lot of work on an RFP and the sales guy told me to pick out some wine and he'd buy it for me.

I bought two bottles of the Four Vines Anarchy on him and can't wait to give it a try. I have a pretty extensive Four Vines stock in my wine rack now and we'll be drinking them once Beautiful Wife is recovered from her radiation therapy.

I have, in stock, the following Four Vines Wines:

1 - 2002 Maverick
1 - 2002 Biker
1 - 2002 The Sophisticate
1 - 2001 Syrah Central Coast
1 - 2002 Gamba Vineyard Zin
2 - 2002 Anarchy (42% Syrah, 29% Zin, 29% Mourvedre*)
4 - 2001 Zinfandel Port

From Wine Spectator's website:
* MOURVEDRE (Red) [more-VAY-druh]
As long as the weather is warm, Mourvèdre likes a wide variety of soils. It's popular across the south of France, especially in Provence and the Côtes-du-Rhône, and is often used in Châteauneuf-du-Pape; Languedoc makes it as a varietal. Spain uses it in many areas, including Valencia. In the United States it's a minor factor now, pursued by a few wineries that specialize in Rhône-style wines. The wine can be pleasing, with medium-weight, spicy cherry and berry flavors and moderate tannins. It ages well.
