Berserker Table #6 California

[help.gif] I really didn’t want to do this BUT since my former friends Steve and Ken refused I have no choice. So lets get started. First, do we want Cabs or Syrah?

Yes!! [pillow-fight.gif]

Do you really expect help from this crowd??? [rofl.gif]

deadhorse I know!! I should expect nothing!

Btw - your table is currently at 7 people - Hugh Sauer and his +1 had to drop out.

I need more room anyway!:slight_smile:

I have a '96 and a '97 Montelena, of others would like those. If not, I can figure out something else.

Your nurse or personal physician coming with you? and I don’t mean Karen.

Since Tiger has take time off from golf, I hired him as my personal nurse service assistant. Should keep me active… and Karen’s golf swing will become smooth and accurate. [cry.gif]

I hadn’t seen this thread before, but it doesn’t look like I’ve missed much. [pillow-fight.gif]


I have lots of Cali Cab and Syrah. Montelena is a favorite of mine. I have some of each vintage for 1984-1987 and 1991-2005.

For Syrah, I have lots of Ojai, Pax, Saxum, and Alban.

Looks like we could use a couple extra people. I will check up here.

Finally all of us on the same page. Ok, I have Pax and Stagecoach Syrah and Insignia, Berringer PR, Shafer, Lewis, and Caymus Cabs among others.

I’m working on picking up something that I would imagine no one has had before. I’ll wait until I finalize it and then say what it is. And if the wine store that said they would get if for me, do not, I WILL trash them all over this board and teach her a lesson. [pillow-fight.gif]

“wine store” = singular
“they” = plural
“do” = singular
“her” = singular and female

Wine store you is my woman? [scratch.gif]

Well?


Looks like Amy will not be joining us. Also, I seem to be striking out with my wino friends up here. Several would have liked to have joined us but already have other plans that day. [swearing.gif]

We need to add a couple more people or consider a merger with Table 8.

You folks seem to be talking about mostly older vintages. Anything wrong with something from the “ought” decade. After all, youthful California Cabs can be mighty tasty. Also, any interest in Pinot Noir?

you can bring your buddy Mouton.

I haven’t gotten that far down the list . . . yet, but I bet he’ll want to sit at your table.

I agree about having some older cabs being less fun, so I decided to not bring the Montelenas.

I contacted my main brain for pain, Carrie Bowman, and she assisted me my quest. Through a lot of abuse by her, you know how she can be, and how I never do anything to deserve her attacks…I survived long enough to aquire these for the dinner:

’05 Anderson’s Conn Valley Black Label Cab “Row 1”
'05 Anderson’s Conn Valley Black Label Petite Sirah

I informed Carrie that they will almost certainly be corked, and that I would need her address in order to send the empty bottles back for a refund. Can you imagine, she intimated that I was possibly looking to scam her. That is why this will be my last purchase from Carrie. neener Till I need her again for something. flirtysmile

I can’t even begin to parse this sentence. You were talking Montelenas from the 90s. These ARE young. Old wine is bad now? [scratch.gif]


I do look forward to trying these. Very interesting choices. Is that PS the one that The French and others were raving about?

I will still bring “old” wine.

Steve, I’ll try your “fresh” wine, Ken only likes old stinky stuff.
