Simi Hotel Del Monte Claret Value

[winoweenie]

I bought a case of the 1935 cab and zin back in the 80`s for $5.00 per. Zelma told me that the 375`s were used back then as salesmen samples. You`re right curmy about the quality varience. We opened about half of them with only a few still being drinkable. Too bad they weren`t sold 20 years earlier. They were reported to be super wines. ( The best was one of the 35 zins. It was almost sensational..Just a hint of vinegar ) WW
