Monday, February 20, 2012 - Winter 2012 Wine Dinner (SA - TX): 2012 Winter Wine Dinner: Number in () is number of favorite votes by guests. Number in [] is my ranking from 1(favorite) to 4. All wines were outstanding and this was very much splitting hairs.

2006 Two Hands Angels Share (5)[4]
2008 Carlisle Papa’s Block Syrah (3)[2]
2006 Rhys Syrah (2)[1]
2004 Shafer Relentless (0)[3]

Quick Notes:
All of these were run through a Vinturi and left to sit in glasses about an hour before service.
The Rhys was really outstanding and to be honest I expected to have it place 3rd in that lineup as I love the Carlisle and Shafer, but it was indeed my favorite. Well made and drinking beautifully.
I’ve tasted the Carlisle and Shafer again day 2 and 3 as there were leftovers and these continue to improve.. just stunning wines in my opinion.
