| Tasted at the Victorville get together on 4/19/03.
NV Chambers Muscadelle, Rutherglen, Australia; Lush and sweet, oozing with mint and spiced raisin fruit. It went perfect with the Crème Brulee. HDW 94 $10.99/375 ml
My rating 94 points, and my white WOTN. The pairing with the creme brulee was superb.

| Can't wait to try it. Just bought some on Monday.
This post should probably go with the dessert wines. | | | |

| I like this better than the Bullers. RP didn't agree but I can live with that.  | | | |

| Just tried this one. I'm not sure if I like this one better than the Bullers. A side-by-side tasting is in order.
Regardless it is really fine stuff. With my desssert pairing the orangey flavors came out. It tasted like a nutty truffle with candied orange filling. Yum.. | | | |

| If anything, LCC has shown his ability to be very patient and restrained in his consumption of a given wine before its time. Just like Orson Welles!
Seriously, he always is talking about "I have 4 bottles, but I won't open one yet, no way. 2006 will be #1." Tha patience of a saint! I'd never last! | | | www.roguefood.com -- www.cellartracker.com | |

| I do. Do it all the time, that is true. But, I do need some Dessert-glasses. So, the wait continues. It's OK, I am a patient man. Good things come to those that wait. | | | |

| Good for your kids. You might kick the bucket with 2500 bottles of wine for them to go through.  jb | | | |
