who would have thought Kman had an understanding of wine?
Cakebread is great in all available vintages. I just had a friend ship back a couple cases from napa.
Cakebread is great for dinner and if you're going someplace nice, it should run about 120-150 a bottle.
Another goody is Heitz cellars (someone mentioned this too)
A bit cheaper than cakebread prolly 80-120 a bottle but very tasty.
Or even a BV tapestry. I had the 98 at a wine tasting last night and even though 98 is not a great year, the wine was very tasty and coming down in price.
Or go French with a nice Calon Segur from St. Estephe (bordeaux)
prolly 110-140 depending on the yr.
Its a great wine and you won't get a better bordeaux for under 150 in a restraurant. The 1st growths are all way more than that in a restaurant.
