2005 B.V. Tapestry and Pvt. Reserve

[newsguy]

Well, we did drink the '06 BV GDL Private Reserve, although it was one of several "extra bottles" and not really planned.

The final tally (in order) from the weekend: NV J Rose Brut, '08 Shea Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir, '07 Stefania Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet, 06 George de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet, '05 Bennett Family Napa Valley Cabernet, '07 Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Cabernet, then late last night at her hotel, an '06 Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet (which was very tight, but the last 2 glasses with lunch today were pretty nice).

We obviously ended up opening a lot more bottles than anticipated, kind of like hanging out with WW — except my friend is much younger and hotter. [img]/ubb/wink.gif[/img] Sorry Verne, couldn't resist.

BTW, you were right about the '06 BV GDL Private Reserve. A 2-hour decant was perfect and the wine was singing.
