Several things will be opened, but the one I brought with me is the 1984 Diamond Creek Volcanic Hill.

Congratulations on your daughter's celebration!
And a fine choice BTW. Cool
But, then, you knew that. Wink

Nothing special, but in honor of RM's passing:
'04 Robert Mondavi Winery Napa Valley. Huge fruit. Fairly one dimensional but smooth and really good for a sub $20 btl.

2003 De Bartoli Noble One Botrytis Semillon - Crap. I hated this cloying mess. Not nearly enough acidity. Nice apricot nose, but it is a thick, sweet mess. Low 80s for me and I am returning the remaining 3 bottles I have.

2000 Zenato Amarone - Needs time but real tasty.

NV Gosset Grande Reserve Champagne - 200ml bottle that was cellared for 5 years+. Excellent stuff!

You drank 5 bottles of ME Sav Blanc! Or was this what you bought?
