Wifey is away. She can not tolerate merlot. This Cabernet has 20%% merlot. Went great with prime filet!
 Followed up with some bourbon while watching MMA!

Having a boys' weekend right now with a group of like-minded oenophiles. Been drinking gems for the past 2 days, but we turned the dial up to full blast tonight. From left to right:
1986 Ch Mouton Rothschild 1960 Ch Haut Brion 1934 Ch Mouton Rothschild Thankfully, all showed well!

Mother of God... lol that's enough vino for a weekend of 50 peeps
If I have a 8 bottle weekend with 4-5 guests and I would be done for a month . We had 6 bottles with guest from out of country last week over 2 nights and I'm going to take off 2 weeks. Although I'll admit had only 3 small glasses out of the 6 bottles, the CdP bottle is what I drank, restaurant pours which I hate and why I never order off their menus, bring my own. I did order a glass of Prisoner when we didn't stay home one night and cook and didn't see the price of 22.00 until the check came. lol and that's why I don't usually order off menus at restaurants. Does Prisoner even have a 50.00 bottle of wine at wine stores ? I've certainly never saw a 100 bottle

Greetings gents. During a long weekend of seemingly never-ending bottle after bottle of goodness, it's difficult to impossible for one bottle to rise head and shoulders above the rest. The ones that were clearly more memorable to my palate than others were:
1984 Diamond Creek Lake 1986 Ch Mouton Rothschild 1987 Dunn Howell Mountain 1990 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 1991 Ridge Monte Bello 1996 Guigal La Landonne 1998 Torbreck Run Rig NV Jacques Selosse Initial Though neither were "stellar", the '34 Mouton and '60 Haut-Brion were still memorable and drinkable. The '34 Mouton actually had more life in it than the Haut-Brion!

Opened a decent Mondavi Cabernet tonight. We've had a few bottles during our last couple of trips to Sandals and decided to go find one. This was the last 2012 I could find, I'll have to try the 2013 afterwards (wine novices).

Saturday evening whilst cooking and with the meal.
Rymill "The Yearling" 2009 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Wish I had bought a case of this. Drinking beautifully. Took an hour to breathe and then almost too good to drink on my own. All the power and richness we expect from the Coonawarra.
