Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · October 22, 2009, 1:02pm

Damn! I’m in.

Tyler_Rico · October 22, 2009, 1:04pm

17 bottles on hand and no CT notes… weird!

Tanzer score sounds nice but pazzzz

Mark, you enjoyed the 06 from the TRB dinner, no? I don’t recall.

Here’s my note:
Two Hand Charlie’s Patch Cabernet Sauvignon- What an interesting wine. Very dark and brooding with some slightly angular structure. Currant, plums and black cherry cola with maybe a hint of green pepper. A decent finish. All in all a very nice cab if not in the same class of the Schraders but I would not refuse another sip if offered and I would certainly like to ‘experiment’ with this one again

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · October 22, 2009, 1:18pm

I forgot that wine was at the dinner. It was surely overshadowed by the Schraders and Maybach, but it was a good wine. Thanks for reminding me.

Nice note for this on the other board. Glad I did not pazzzz.

anyone know how long this took to sell out?

Great day for cab lovers, this and the JJ Buckley Mondavi deal

I will gladly take my 2 05 Mondavi Oakville’s vs 1 two hands cab. Although I would be curious to try the two hands at one point

Mo_K_a_n_g · October 23, 2009, 2:10am

Man alive, I could not resist that deal either. $16.65 + tax per bottle of the Mondavi? I should have bought more than one case!

Sean_Reed · October 23, 2009, 2:17am

I tasted this with TRB from barrel in '06 and it is worth the $45 for sure!

Paul_L_i_n · October 23, 2009, 7:28am

Have to admit, I did not love it. There are better TRB cabs out there, to be sure, but the price is not bad. To but honest though, I would rather buy another RM can than this one.

Daniel_Posner · October 23, 2009, 7:19pm

I thought that the 2005 Charlie’s Patch was awesome when I had it in May.

mike_pobega · October 23, 2009, 9:04pm

You and me running concurrent again? Scary.

Daniel_Posner · October 23, 2009, 9:17pm

I quit.

Or maybe you are finally developing a palate.

mike_pobega · October 23, 2009, 10:22pm

Yeah, but I can do it for $80 less.

Daniel_Posner · November 1, 2009, 10:37pm

Tasting 2006 and 2007 this week. Wines will be very cheap.

mike_pobega · November 1, 2009, 11:11pm

The 06 was pretty nice. The 07 should be nothing short of great.

Daniel_Posner · November 1, 2009, 11:39pm

And Michael is no longer producing Napa Cab, for now.

Not a rumor, heard fromt he horse’s mouth, before people jump down my throat.

I will check out the wines this week, and hopefully make another smashing deal.

mike_pobega · November 2, 2009, 1:09am

Don’t forget my ‘usual’ discount…

mike_pobega · November 2, 2009, 5:58pm

Marathon Monday had this up again for about 20 minutes. Gone again!

Daniel_Posner · November 2, 2009, 6:14pm

So, it never really sold out the first time, Mike?
