The greatness of the 97 vintage is starting to really show. I have the chore of attending this stupid trade show so took another threesome of 97s' down yesterday. In the mix was Shooting Star, Raymond Reserve, and Ch. Montelena Calistoga Cuvee. Again, and Think paper cup, tired ole' pooper, and hunnerts of hard-bodies distracin' the Weeners concentration. All three wines are really showing well. Even my Martini-Single malt friends thot they were, as one put it, "Pretty Nice Drinkin' Ca-Ca". The one I was mostly suprised by was Steeles' Star. A really formidable wine for under 15 bucks. All 3 have a ways to go but I'll have to try again under better conditions to really pin the tail-on-the-donkey. WW
