I’m taking a 1994 Schramsberg Reserve sparkler to Zare at Fly Trap in SF. We served this Schramsberg at our wedding.

NV Duval Leroy Brut. Served with hazelnut crusted halibut, olive oil glazed pasta with prosciutto and peas topped with fresh Romas and shredded Reggiano. Nights like this are ones to not think too much about the wine, so I needed an easy drinker.

My Valentines wine:

2007 Myriad Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville (2/14/2011)
A virtually perfect wine. Had it at STK with my babe of a wife for Valentines Day. Big, bold with notes of blackberry, plum, toast, spice and a never ending finish. The best wine I have ever had. (99 pts.)

Didn’t go out last night (never do on V-Day). Sandi and I went to Osteria Coppa in downtown San Mateo on the 13th. We drank '98 Clos des Papes and '05 Janasse Cotes du Rhone Villages “Terre d’Argile”. This bottle of Clos des Papes showed that wine has reached the plateau stage. Drinking beautifully, but in no danger of falling off the cliff anytime soon. The Janasse with its 30% Syrah and 30% Mourvedre components was very earthy and slightly animal (in a good way). Went very well with our ribeye with fresh horseradish sauce.

We finished up the 2nd half of the Janasse last night.

Started with a NV Barnaut Grande Reserve Brut and then tried a 1998 Chapoutier La Bernardine which was corked. Then opened a 2001 Montelena Estate which was fine but seemed to be shut down a bit. It went well with the Flannery Waygu Shortribs (with 3 bottles of wine used for the sauce).

I drank a 2004 Sloan Napa Valley Cabernet… Heavenly! That bottle definitely won me over…

Mike_Reff · February 15, 2011, 5:22pm

Nada, zip, zilch. Made dinner and opened up a Moulin Tacussel Cdp, for myself after sweeping up the basement. Considering the over hype of the holiday, I prefer to drink alone.

2008 Sojourn Russian River Pinot. With chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate covered espresso beans. Tasty and a tad spicy and earthy.
