No shite Oteece, I got that. But at $20 to $25 a bottle, is this a good one or not?

Their presence in the vitner business has grown with each passing year.

Both. I am a very much a Francophile appreciator of wines, it was them that gave the LOVE (no whites please unless as a part of a recipe) for wines it started long ago and I was able to impress the wife and friends with the pairings that I can produce between food and wines. If I was in charge the praise was a bit high, and I am not blowing my horn. If you can find it a bottle of Chateau de Beycheval from Bourdeaux will kick arse.

look I sell wine for a living, if I am going to buy a reserve wine it wont be KJ and I sell KJ...... any Mondavi Napa wine would beat that, or most Coppolas too.....ask me if you want any professional opinions (just means I have a little more of a clue than you, but not much)......

ok lets see..... Bogle Phantom is around 18, Rodney Strong Symmetry (if you can find it) is around 50 but amazing stuff), Hogue Genesis Meritage around 16, Estancia Meritage around 30(awesome) Trinchero Mario $45 .............. anything by Benziger or St Francis......sangiovese to come

Chalk Hill cab is crack.

i agree but Chalk Hill is so tight that it is allocated and I couldnt even buy it for myself if I wanted....... so basically to me it doesnt exist....LOL

Now, I have to confess...when I taste what I like, I've yet to taste leather, dirt, etc.

now look OTIS, I am in the business, but some of them mention cat pee and lemon grass and I just try not to think too hard........ does it taste good? yes... would I buy it? yes.....
