| | 2004 Peter Michael "Belle Cote" Chardonnay at opening day of our favorite outdoor BYO lobster pound. A bucket of steamers, a 2 1/2 lb lobster and a terrific wine from my cellar overlooking the sailboats on the Sound. I can't think of a reason not to do this once a week. | |

1994 Rochioli Chardonnay
1992 Togni Cabernet Sauvignon
2001 Harlan Maiden
Trio of Grand Marnier
With Barbara, Randy and Randy at the Plumed Horse in Saratoga, CA. The wines were great - even the Togni opened nicely after sitting in the glass a while. The food less so ... Nothing bad, but somewhat uneven with some combinations that didn't work well. For example, a special tuna carpacchio starter was under-seasoned and bland - even the sliced Fresno chile didn't help. On the other hand, my venison was really nice. The remodeled restaurant was beautiful, with an impressive show cellar as one dining room wall; the service was generally excellent and very wine friendly - although corkage was $35 a bottle. I'd go back, in the hopes the food would be more consistantly good. | | | |

| 2005 Castle Rock Napa Valley Merlot - Surprisingly decent, Vine 86.
Looking for new QPR's, bought a bunch of sub $15 bottles yesterday. And any Napa red priced at $9.00 always merits some attention! | | | |

Thanks - it was a great trip - 111 days - 30 countries - 50,000 miles traveled - not much wine but we will make up for that shortly. | |
