Surprise tasting

Howdy all,

Been a while since I've been around these parts, thanks to TW for dropping newsgroups.

The Mrs and I were out shopping today and stopped in to one of the local retailers to see what they were sampling. To our great surprise, they were pouring high end wines to promote the

30% off anything over $30 bottle sale.

I did not take notes, but here is what we had. All for free! (Well, not counting what we walked out with. :) )

2005 Twomey Napa Merlot 2006 Stag's Leap Artemis 2006 Caymus Napa Cab 2006 Dunn Napa Cab 2005 Opus One 2006 Duckhown Napa Cab 2006 Beaucastel CdP 2004 Heitz Napa Cab 2002 Cristal

Needless to say, my jaw hit the floor. They also had the high end room open for perusal where I proceeded to slobber over any and everything: Sassacia, Gaja, all 5 1st levels, box of 3 different vintages of Dom, etc. They even had a ginormus bottle of Ch. d'Yquem for $5K. Sitting on the floor!! Probably a Methuselah or a Salmanazar size.

Enjoy! I just had to brag to someone who could appreciate what I just went through. Robb in Austin

And to think that I accused Dale of having too easy access to goodies in his wine stores. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations
