| what a great time
a pleasure to meet alonso and his wife as well as geary and some of his family along with some Very tasty wines.
it was incredible how much difference there was from the 2002 and 2003 Loring Rosellas, the 2003 had an almost cabernet feel to me and was very nice as i tend to like cabernet but the 2002 was drinking nicely as well.
the 2000 Bressler was drinking nice as well with only about 30 minutes after popping the cork, i would give it 93+ at least.
for the whites the sauv blanc was very crisp and even better after warming up for 15 minutes or so.
the sweet wine 2000 mr K i felt completed the meal in a nice way, i even had a small amount to enjoy for a nightcap tonite
hope to meet everybody again sometime

| A very nice relaxing lunch with new friends.
I'll try to post notes on the wines today.
So does Joe (WIML) get credit for another offline since he suggested this one?
His name came up alot, so it was just like he was there. | | | |

However on another matter, those of us at the table did witness his wife tell him he was right. 
Are you sure that was HIS wife?   | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

It certainly was not Jill telling me, for obvious reasons.
