Mon, Seven Stones, Rudd, Artesa, and whatever else I get into

Wines from Ponzi at a muti-course lunch today.

Whatever wines people bring and Larry has out at the party at Archibald’s tonight

Our choice of wines from the 100 wineries pouring at the Big Event at the Opera grounds tomorrow.

Then whatever Al is pouring at their party tomorrow evening.

Various Champagnes at Glantz’s for brunch on Sunday.

Followed by recovery.

May crack one of Andrew Vingiello’s (AP Vin) Cabernets from Beckstoffer George III Vineyard in Rutherford…a nice gift for my help at the winery yesterday.

Other than that, cocktails/beer tonight with a couple of fraternity brothers

Saturday, big dinner with lots of wine to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Mostly those big overripe, too sweet CA wines (kidding!)

Sunday, I rest.

8

Tonight, I’ll probably finish off the ‘06 Bruno Colin - Santenay I opened last night. Tomorrow, we’ll be killing some babies (‘04 Pio Barolo, ‘05 Doisy Vedrines, ‘06 Siduri - Clos Pepe), have a CdP that’s in its window right now (‘01 Boislauzon), and whatever else may get popped. Sunday: probably beer and water.

9

Still not able to drink alcohol due to my ulcer…Hopefully I’ll be able to by next wekend. So agua it is for me…

10

Sorry to hear that Yoni…get better soon. FYI - Golf is what causes ulcers, not wine. [basic-smile.gif]

11

I think I’m going to try that Audelssa Summit steal, I mean deal, that was on here.

12

Good luck with the ulcer, and hopefully you’ll be back form soon!

13

You will not be disappointed.

14

I might try that as well. I want to open something awesome tomorrow, trying to figure out what that would be though.

15

Starting with some Miller’s Gin, shaken cold, splash of vermouth, anchovy olives. From there no idea.

16

On Saturday, a 2008 German Riesling Tasting and that night, a 1999 California Retrospective with friends!

17

Post about the Rieslings if you’re feeling up to it! I’d be very curious to hear some thoughts, specific or general. [berserker.gif]

18

1992 Chateau Potelle Mount Veeder Zinfandel V.G.S. or
2000 Ch Cantemerle

I think

19

Making what is currently looking like a fantastic Osso Bucco (should be done in a couple hours) and popped an 04 Pegau Reservee to go with it but this wine is so tasty that it is likely to be long gone by the time the veal shanks are done.

20

I need opinions on which one of these I should open tomorrow:

2006 Bodegas El Nido Jumilla Clio
2004 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
2005 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon
2005 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District
