- STEVE IN PS - 09-21-2000 Planning a very important dinner party for 12. High end entree selections will be between Filet Mignon, Rack, or Veal. I've shortlisted to the following 4 Cabs: BERINGER "Knights Valley" 1996 ROBERT MONDAVI 1997 HESS COLLECTION 1996 CHATEAU MONTELENA 1997 Anyone have any good comparisons to make or significant directions? I'm new so any recommendations would be more than welcome THX STEVE J - mrdutton - 09-21-2000 I don't think you can ever go wrong with Mondavi............... - winoweenie - 09-21-2000 Steve, welcome to the board. You have a very impressive list to choose from. My overwhelming favorite from the wines listed is the Chateau Montelena( I take it`s the Calistoga Cuvee ). The 96 Hess is also a marvelous wine but IMHO needs another 2 years. The Beringer Knights and Mondavi Napa are all solid, but the baton must be passed to The Mont. ( Took 4 bottles to Vail. Didn`t last 4 days.) winoweenie |
