| 1999 Martinelli Guiseppi and Louisa (sp?). This wine continues to impress. Great length. Berries and liqueur. Hedonism in a bottle. 93. One bottle left.

| Got a few folks stopping by later tonite. I'm toying with a comparison tasting. I've got a few bottles of Marietta Old Vines Red (Lot #27 and #30). Perhaps we'll put some folks on the spot for their evaluations of these two. Stay tuned  | | | |

| That sounds like a good experiment, budman. I enjoyed the Lot 29 (my first Marietta) very much and agree that it's near the top of the QPR mountain.
For me - I'm taking tonight off in anticipation of tomorrow night's destruction of:
1990 Dalla Valle Cabernet
1992 La Jota Caberent - Anniversary
1992 Dunn Howell Mountain
1999 Quilceda Creek Cabernet (if necessary)
Will post TN on Sunday (if I'm still alive). | | | |

| Hello all
I've got a new recipe I want to try with lamb or veal shanks so I'm thinking 1990 Banfi Brunello. | | | |

| Welcome Corkage! Glad you made it!
Would that be the regular label Banfi BdM or the Poggio all Oro (expensive one)?
Either way - sounds like a winner to me. | | | |

| Yea, I noticed that "if necessary" also and got a chuckle. Was going to post some kind of sarcastic remakr, but I might have had to moderate myself. | | | If you drink wine, you get smarter.... | |

| Well it is one of those situations where the 4th wine will need to be open for 4-5 hours before we open it. I am going for it  I have been prepping all week long so no turning back now | | | |

| Stemor-- Man, you are the offline King! Sounds like you al had a blast.
STW-- I love Etude's stuff. I got a bottle of the 99 a few weeks ago, myself. When you planning on popping it?
Presently, I am about to get ready for a hockey game, so I will have no wine tonight, sadly. | | | www.roguefood.com -- www.cellartracker.com | |

| It's been a very wine-ey weekend, so we're going simple tonight. Starting with the '01 Mt. Eden West Slope Chardonnay, followed by the Marietta Old Vine Lot #30 (both sub-$10 recent purchases from Winex.com). The West Slope is the best sub-$10 Chard. I've had in years, drinks like one twice the price. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Nothing tonight, I am a little wiped out this evening. Opening anything would potentially be a waste.  | | | |
