had a great time there today... they're not pouring alot of these wines. e.g. rosenblum's winners.

Groote Post 2003 Sauvignon Blanc had a wonderfully grassy nose, and grapefruit and bright tropical flavors

Sebastiani Vineyards and Winery 2001 Chardonnay had a nice creamy mouthfeel, but less interesting on the palate than many other chards, e.g. Ch Potelle VGS Chard (yep, "VGS" stands for very good s**t)

Leonetti 1999 Amarone della Valpolicella DOC Classico, Italy was huge and mouthfilling, needed food to take up some of the tannins and let me taste the fruit, but less tannic than many amarone's i've tasted. smoother tannins too.

have fun saturday!

Always glad to see Rosenblum taking home the gold. I was surprised with Rosenblum's '02 Jingalu Shiraz. It was vastly different than '01 vintage. More floral aromas and less weight than the '01. If you have the chance to taste them side by side, do it - the results are startling.

I'll be there Saturday as well. Can't wait!
