| Looks like I can't go back and edit the list to add and correct wines :(
I ditto the KB Gary's as the WOTN for me. I usually sell the SLH single vineyards and just concentrate on the RR, but the 08 Gary's is a keeper for sure. | | TN posted on Cellartracker"

| 07 Merry Edwards Klopp Ranch - swan and pommard from 20 year old vines - nice wine but too expensive
08 KB Kanzler - 667 and pmmard clone - great potential
08 AP Vin Rancho Ontiveros - 113 and 115 Dijon clones - I usually don't care for this clonal selection but Andrew nailed this one - in fact this may be Andrew's most complete lineup ever
PS - I ended up with someone's KB baseball hat - let me know and I'll get it too you | | | I am having an out-of-money experience | |

I wore my KB hat to the cave dinner, managed to come home without it. Think I must have taken it off inside the cave - so might be mine.

| Pete, just keep the hat. I've got a couple of them and Tom can snag one of mine next time he's over.

| I liked the Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc but that has been my house SB for years. That and the Inman Pinot Gris are my ABChard white wines.
I've always loved the Freeman Chard and the '07 Ryo-Fu was right up there.
The red stand-outs for me were...
'08 KB Gap's Crown '08 KB Pisoni '08 KB Koplen '08 APVin Rosella's
At Merry Edwards I liked the '08 Sonoma Coast/County(?). All the others IMO need at least five years before drinking.
'08 Shane Judge (A Syrah I like—Yikes!)
I really liked the '07 The Treat. This should be an interesting project given that it will be one shot - tiny production wines. I think they said they were going to do some other varietals other than Cab. (ditto—Yikes!)
The BEST Wine of the Day was a white Burg that Shannon was carrying around. I don't think it is on the list here because IIRC it was a 1er.

David, it was: Palate Cleanser #1: 2004 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos I wish I had cases of these. :) Recent vintages of this wine have gone $$ crazy. | | | |
