Oh Bill, Roy brought up two bottles - a Kiona, '84 Estate bottled, Yakima Vallley Cab and a Boeger '97 Reserve Sangiovese El Dorado.
We shall see what we shall see!
Our steak Diane is a little spicy so we are having an '04 Lemelson Vineyards Thea's Selection Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley--we so love pinot and drink it at any excuse!!
I am so interested in your selections--are you going to decant the '84? Dorothy and John with the WSJ say don't unless it has thrown a lot of sediment--just opened, it developes flavors with each successive glass--same with the '97. Their experience says , decanted, it is as it is poured, and doesn't change. I'm not that good, and you never know what is right unless you open two bottles, decant one and not the other and compare side by side (sorry, the chemist in me)--I've never done that. Might be fun!! Report please!!!
