| If no one else plans on starting this topic then I will.
I will start by thanking the Jazins, they are wonderful people! This night was so much fun.
The night feature a wonderful meal and 11 fabulouse Zins, not to mention three sweeties to finish off the night.
Here are the wines and my ratings. I will post notes as the days pass. (th
1999 T Vine Brown Estate Zin 92pts
2000 Turley Juvenile 87pts
2000 Ridge Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley 84pts
2000 Poggio Il Pino La Corte 84pts
1999 Hartford Court Dina's Vineyard 88pts
2000 Neyers Tofanelli 91pts
1997 Behrens and Hitchcock Napa 83pts
1999 A. Rafanelli, Dry Creek Sonoma 87pts
1999 Caymus 87pts
2000 Martinelli G & L 92pts
2000 Martinelli Jackass 94pts
2000 Renwood Zin Ice wine -no score-
2000 Mann Gewurtztraimer Grand Cru Furstentum V.V. 94pts
NV Buller Premium Fine Muscat, Australia 94pts
All wines were tasted blind except for the dessert wines. I sat next to Board-O (lucky me  ) we rated all of these wines within one point of each other except for the Caymus - he gave it an 89 and the dessert wines which he was un impressed with. I believe Ojeffso was a big fan of the Buller, I personally loved the Mann that showed off pear flavors with a sweet dose of pink grapefruit in the mouth. I hope this is a good overview and hopefully others will post their scores here.

| | I hope the Zins ruined my palate for the sweet wines, because I have 11 bottles left of the Mann and a dozen bottles of the Buller arriving this week. | | | |

I was not a fan of any of the dessert wines except for the sweet Buller. Very rich wine, but quite delectable.
In all honesty, the two Martinellis suffered being at the end of the tasting. I'll bet I would enjoy them if I were to drink them on their own.
My palate was absolutely wrecked by the first 9 wines (and I'm not a huge Zin fan to begin with). The Martinellis were so sweet and syrupy that they were simply too much. | | | |
