Don and Sally's Home
Tasted Friday, September 1, 2017 by sawira with 680 views
Wow, what an evening! 23 wines from the 1967 vintage. All purchased upon release (I believe) and cellared impeccably since then. Thank you for your warmth, hospitality and amazing generosity, Sally and Don!
Thanks again to all who attended and honored Sally and Don's wedding anniversary.
Leslie and I talked towards the end of the event, and he asked me "What do we do after this?" To which I responded "Pay it forward. This is an inspiration to us, the younger generation. Next it is our turn."
May we be worthy!
Thanks again Don and Sally for a tasting of a lifetime. Have a blast on your celebratory travels.
Much love from all of us to both of you!

1967 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon 90 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Light colored red, with hints of garnet, fully bricked, salmon rim. Obviously Heitz with its menthol, eucalyptus nose. Delicious hints of green notes on the palate accompany the still vibrant red fruits. Still some structure. My second favorite of Flight #2.

1967 Gaja Barbaresco 91 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
Took awhile to open. Murky purple color, lots of bricking. Huge nose of classic Nebbiolo notes - tar, earth, roses, some tiny hints of balsamico. Long finish. Still going strong at the end of the evening. My favorite of Flight #1.
