We're heading to Napa MLK Jr. weekend and will skip Beringer (again). NYE wines (20 people dinner/wine party). 5 bottles 1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires. 2 bottles 2000 Angelus (decanted at noon for 9 p.m. tasting and still tight). 2 bottles 1986 Pichon Lalande (showed well after just a couple hours of decanting - little sediment). 2 bottles El Nido Clio (70% Mouvedre/30% Cab was very interesting). 2 bottles 1997 Casanova di Neri (decanting for 6 hours did nothing, closed and dumb - wine finally opened for brunch the next day). 1 bottle 1986 Rieussec and 1 bottle 1988 Rieussec (for the Foie Gras course). 2 bottles 1992 Dunn Howell (after 9 hours decanting it finally came through). 2 bottles 1991 Chateau Montelena Estate (lovely after just a few hours of decanting). Mag of 2002 Chateau Montelena (new California style, preferred the 1991, but still a great wine and showed well after just 3 hours decanting). Double Mag of 1995 Caymus Special Select (think RP was more on the money about this wine than WS). Mag and 1 bottle of 1995 Insignia (think Tanzer and WS was more on the money about this wine than RP). 3 bottles of 1997 Venge Family Reserve (still a baby after 6 hours of decanting). 2 bottles of 1996 Clarendon Hills Astralis (wow!) Finished the evening with Montecristo No. 4s (Habana from a 50 stick cabinet box). Thanks for the heads up on the Beringer. We’re heading to Napa MLK Jr. weekend and will skip Beringer (again).

Place to eat; Fleur Da Lye at Mandalay Bay. Opened a 1998 Ovation by Joseph Phelps. The color was golden. The consistancy was like light olive oil. The flavor just kept coming. Its match up with Fois Gras was orgasmic. Tell me you have some of this stuff laying around up there for sale (1998). Happy New Year Jerry. PS Don't forget you promised me a Corton Charlemagne taste off on one of your shows. Jerry Gary, Had New Years in Vegas. Place to eat; Fleur Da Lye at Mandalay Bay.

I can't grow one that thick on my best week. Just an FYI: I was at the Jets team hotel the night before they trounced the Dolphins -- I tried to send a positive vibe to them while they were there... I think that did the trick. QOTD: (and I know I am late) I had 40 people at my house, drinking everything that wasn't locked up and helping me blow through a Cava-based punch and a case of Mumm Napa Blanc de Noirs -- very pretty salmon color, nice strawberry flavors -- a real crowd pleaser. Thank GOD they didn't find the 1990 Palmer.... ;-) Happy 2007! Great episode and I envy the beard… I can’t grow one that thick on my best week.
