Supplied by Nat, and boy do I feel like I need to dig out something special next time I catch up with him. The company was far better than the wine, but this is a drop worth hunting around for a day or four to find a bottle. Do not ignore it – I’d assume…

Like much of the “I drank this a long time ago and can’t remember it” ranks – it was nice enough and worth checking out.

Decent Cab Sauv – can’t remember it much – was about 7 months ago I drunk this one.

Oh baby! I cannot wait to get my hands on a primo of primo years bottle of this one. It’s only made when the grapes are of sufficient quality, which means in the primo of primo years this one should be insane – 05, 06 and 07’s of this ones are must haves on my…

Can’t really remember this one – it was quite some time ago (part of the reason you should really write about them while you’re drinking ’em). Was enjoyable enough, but certainly not an outstanding must have, but definitely check it out if you see it.

For about $35 I enjoyed this one more than Moet et Chandon, while no where near as good as Wirra Wirra – The Cousins (Method Traditionelle) drink it before dinner as the warm up session (while your rack of lamb cooks in the oven).
