I'm Drinking a Bottle of '97 Cakebread Cellars Benchland Select Cab

[Susang]

What are you all drinking tonight? Is it as tasty as my glass of wine?

[Fenris]

1. Coke! And yes it is!

:D

[Zomby Woof]

2. Water here

Where's jeezus when you need him? :beer:

[Fenris]

4. He checked out of this hell-hole a LONG time ago

Was born, looked around, said we were fucked, and got killed for it.

[Susang]

5. He must be here

Cause this wine is biblical!

6. mmmmm...Cakebread makes AMAZING wines...

Never had their cab, but I bet it's phenomenal...

[Susang]

8. It's even better than you think

Because it's free. :-) My cousin is a wine collector and his payment to me (and my husband) for dog sitting his French bulldog is to leave really expensive wines for us to sample.

3. Sorry I ran out of stuff

during the STOU drinking game.

7. '96 Sonoma Zinfandel

Homemade, eighteen months in the barrel, and yes, it is every bit as tasty as your's (well, the state didn't get one nickel of tax, so it tastes even better).

9. Oh my…*drool*….

`97 was a very good year for almost all Napa vintners….I’ve got a couple of `97 Silver Oaks…done one already…saving the others….Cakebread ranks right up there <wiping drool now><tasting drool><disappointed in drool>....

10. Could you push a glass through the screen?

Sounds lovely :D

[Susang]

11. For you I'd attempt the impossible

I know you'd appreciate this wine.

I feel kind of guilty, after I opened the bottle (knowing the vitner's name, I was sure it was going to be fantastic, never mind that the bottle was a '97!), I googled the name & vintage and found out how much it cost. I'm glad my cousin's a successful executive with excellent taste.

Did I ever mention that he and I used to watch The Six Million Dollar Man & The Bionic Woman together when we were kids? }(
