Hi Rad and welcome back. I've just returned from a week in Las Vegas during which I worked my patootie off. Instead of making a different posting, I'll just make a post-script to yours. I took over a case of 94 750s' and 3 mags of 94. Took the following wines and broke them down into 4 groups to match the palates of the group I was having for dinner that evening. The 3 mags were Per Sempre, Anderson Conn Valley and Staglin. These were for a group of 10 that had both low and high ranges of knowledge. All 3 wines are showing well. The next evening I had 6 people and had the following as all were enthusiastic,but with limited knowledge of the juice. Livingston Moffitt, Pride, Duckhorn Napa and Mt. Veeder Estate. These wines are also developing nicely and made a favorable impression on this group. The next night was with a little more sophisticated group of 6 and we had the follopwing;Caymus Napa, Mondavi Reserve, Flora Springs Trilogy and Cakebread Napa. All of these wines need a little more time but are bottles that give lots of stuff-n-such and are all 90+ wines. The final nite I had three of my close friends who flew in from Denver for the occassion and we opened the following; Spottswood, Dalle Valle Napa, Phelps Insignia,Chateau Montelena, and Beringer Reserve.These wines are all they've been cracked up to be and are either now, or will be in another 2-4 years classic wines. As I stated last year or sometime, the 94s' vs. the 97s' will not be settled in my mind until the 97s' get another 3-5 years on them. No doubt about it tho, the 94s' make drinkin' fun. WW
