Hello Blog viewers, all 1 of you. Thought I would keep the trend up of writing about something that has nothing to do with the post before it. Today it is wine. 
I just bought, with the help of my lovely future sister-in-law a bottle of the above wine. It was, with her discount $102US. Probably the most I have ever spent on a single bottle of wine, outside of a restaurant of course. I'm excited. I had a 2000 when I was last home and it was stunning to say the least. Looking forward to this one. The question is, when to open it??? It probably could do with 5-10 years bottle aging before even considering it. Guess I'll have to wait it out. Here are the notes from their site.
“If you really want to make great wine, go to the hills” was theadvice given to us in 1966 by André Tchelistcheff, America’s preeminent20th century winemaker. And indeed we came to these rocky hillsides ofPritchard Hill, where we have farmed winegrapes for nearly 40 years andproduce what many critics call one of the world's finest wines.
We're pleased to offer Club members an exclusive opportunity toreserve this wine before it is available to the general public.Compelling in its elegance and power, the wine exhibits a bouquet ofbaked cherries and berries shaded by nutmeg and sweet new French oak.The wine is extraordinarily concentrated, with deep flavors of cherryand plum touched by hints of chocolate, cola and roasted coffee. Withonly 200 cases, we are able to provide a maximum of 3 bottles permember. We will reserve the wine in your name to ship upon release inearly October, 2006.
Ciao till next post!!
