Yearly recap and wine resolutions thread

[Innkeeper]

Our favorite wine of the year was the '99 EOS Petite Sirah. Other contendors were the '01 and '02 Tobin James Private Stash, and the '96 Angelo Sassetti, Brunello di Montalcino.

The "special" bottle was the '03 Glenora Vinters Select Riesling that we opened for our 44th anniversary.

The value of '07 was the same as '06 & '05; Finca El Portillo Cabernet Sauvignon. This is IMHO a contendor for the best wine in the world for under $10.

Our "discovery" of year was actually discovered by Mark. His was the '02 but ours was the '04 Knapp New York Merlot. What made it a discovery was the two strikes it had against it (New York appellation and a Merlot). Hung in there with recommendations from Mark and Gene, and enjoyed an absolutely delightful wine.

Resolution for '08: Pop a wine sometime near the end of this month!
