Duck ,if I were you, I would be drinking my Top Shelf wine. Wink


I'm planning on drinking at least some of it, especially some of the better Shiraz, since I have so much of it. I'm going on a weeklong business trip soon and certainly plan to bring some decent bottles with me.

BTW, while the Leonetti Reserves are gone, I still have the "regular" Leonetti Cabs available, should you be interested.

Tonight, a 2001 Chateau Leoville-Poyferre - a huge disappointment; thin, and barely a trace of fruit on the nose or palate. Can a 2nd Growth be this disappointing? (obviously so) Smile

Fairly simple pinot but not bad for the $17 that I paid for it. SG86

It has been a great holiday weekend so far. We have enjoyed with family and friends starting at lunch Friday many wonderful wines, from enjoyable Rose' to '47 La Mission Haut Brion with many in-between.

Notes soon...
