Top 5 rose in the world, top 10 most important still, dry white in France and yet some people like the red more than those two...

1996 Beringer Private Reserve cab

For the last five years the son of one of my Friday guys has spent untold hours hanging out with a bunch of old guys and being his dad's designated driver while sneaking an occasional sip. That's mom's job tonight as we celebrate him being able to have more than a sip. Birth year wine of course among others.

W+A, it was a solid bottle after a few hours of air. Tannins are in check & this seems to be in its prime. I wasn't blown away, but it had some stiff competition last night. Low 90's if I had to assign a score.

Thank you, sir.

I will hold them.

2001 Casanova di Neri, TN, my only bottle, for a party with my monthly tasting group this Friday.

Have a backup ('01 Capanna Riserva) standing in case this is oxidized, stewed, or corked (a problem with this wine as I understand).
