Lunch and tasting with Fred Scherrer

[winoweenie]

and his dist yesterday. BRW, and 2 other close friends joined us whiole CorkDork and another buddy were no-shows. The wines poured were the 03 Chardonnay which was impressive for a SW, 03 Pinot Noir, 02 Old and Mature Zin, and the 01 Cabernet. So as not to appear I'm pimping for him I will go on record as saying they are all well-made, beautifully balanced, and concise wines showing their varietal heritage and having great drinkability. Very impressive. The pinot and cab had heft and power plus the structure to go another 6-10 and the zin looks like it'll improve for another 5-8. We all ordered boxes on the spot. WW
