St. Jean Cinq Cepages and 2004 Sonoma Cab, then some Aussies the 2002 Wolf Blass Black Label Csb/Shiraz and the 2003 Platinum Shiraz, Rosemounts' lineup included 2004 Show Reserve McLaren Vale Shiraz, 2004 Show Reserve Traditional, 2004 Show Reserve McLaren Vale GSM, and finally the 2005 Show Reserve Coonawarra Cab. The standouts were the Napas along with the St. Jeans. The Wolf Blass also graded outstanding and the GSM and the Traditional hit the rite notes. These were served with a superior buffet that was not only tasty but quite extensive with roast beef, Pates, Every cheese imaginable hummus, mustards and all the rite fruits. They charged an exhorbitant 25 per for pitch till you win so I and Mike made sure they don't invite us back anytime soon. They also were giving discounts of an average of 20% on all of the wines. The Sbragia at around 50 was a standout and the Oroppas was stunning also. Both of the Beringer Pvt. Reserve hit the outstanding level and the 04 St. Jean Sonoma at 22 bucks was definately a Best Buy. Of the Aussies my choices were the WB 03 Platinum Shirax and the GSM. WW
