I'll bring something white and a CA Pinot.
CWG, is there anything you haven't had and would like to try? Maybe I'll have something.

| | I just read through this thread, and I can't figure out what all wines we're gonna have. I know I'm bringing a 2002 Pride reserve; beyond that, could everyone clarify exactly what is coming? | | | |

| | I sent a 2002 Thackery Orion, a 2003 Carlisle Petite Syrah, and a 2001 Schrader RBS Cab. I am bringing along one more red, just haven't decided between a 2002 Quilceda Creek, Alban Seymores, or some other random red.... | | | |

| Grape,
When you said Just for the Love of it, you didn't mean this did you:
Quote:
100 points Parker: '"A dead-ringer (at least aromatically) for Guigal’s single vineyard Cote Rotie La Mouline, the 2002 Just For The Love of It is the greatest California Syrah I have yet tasted. A one-thousand case blend of 96% Syrah, 2% Grenache, and 2% Viognier, it is nearly equal parts Alban, Bien Nacido, and Stolpman fruit with a small amount from both Shadow Canyon and White Hawk. It boasts a provocative perfume of creme de cassis, toast, blackberries, licorice, barbecue spice, and exotic floral scents. Extremely full-bodied, with fabulous intensity, great purity, awesome length, and a finish that lasts over a minute, this classic is a must purchase. Already accessible, it will drink well for 10-15 years."
