| 01 Togni Napa Valley Cab Sauv (mag): I know, Togni + 01 = infant + mag = are you kidding me?!? That's good news. This is one of the only 01 cabs that I'm holding. | | | |

| …also, by the way, that same night I opened:
99 David Abreu Napa Valley Estate Cab Sauv &
02 Robert Foley Napa Valley Claret
…both were great wines, but nowhere near the Togni. It stole the show/night easily! | | | |

| Waited until now to post because I thought there maybe a chance to trump these wines last night. Unfortunately, my son came down with an ugly fever yesterday so we had to cancel our planned New Years Eve party. Most importantly, he's doing much better today. Happy New Year everyone!

| This year I did not have a lot of "WOW" wines, but did enjoy a fair amount of what I call cellar stalwarts - reasonably priced wines ($10-50) that I reached for over and over again during the year.
