2001 Shafer Napa Cab

[winoweenie]

What I was referring to was the complete treat,ment of our group at the winery. We were given the generic tasting that is given to bus groups. I had called Doug Shafer and was assured by his assistant everything was okie-dokie and when we got there the only wine I didn't pour in the spit bucket was the SW. No Napas, No Hillsides, no Nada. When I got home I checked and had 4 asst' cases of Hillsides in the cellar along with 9 cases of Napa. I wasn't knocking their wines, only the fact that the tasting experience was the worst of any we had in Napa and this group all said they'd never buy any more Shafer. The 01 Napa is a fine wine. The arrogance of the tasting room sours it into vinegar for me. WW
