  Pre 1990 Cali Cab + 1981 Birthday Surprise! (Cowford Chophouse): The was the surprise wine of the day for me. I don't know much about the producer and usually am not as big of a fan of the valley floor as the mountains. This was great though. There's kindof an herbal spice cabinet mixed with plum and fig and in a great drinking window and just the right level of openness. Drinking fresh although with age. Very nice.

  Nose of black cherry, black berry and black currants and a hint of bell pepper, same on the palate, enjoyed over two nights, tasty, better the first night than the second night suggests this wine should be enjoyed now-46 bottles show in CellarTracker cellars, mouth filling fruit, touch simple due to showing its age, a great effort from Nils Venge, and a long, flavorful finish.

  8 Cabernet Sauvignon from 1987 and 1997 (Walnut Creek, Ca.): Nice, rich, herbal nose tonight, medium/big body, great, rich fruit but herbal, nice medium/long finish with hints of soft tannins and vanilla. My #8 of 8. Faced tough competition tonight or probably deserved a higher score by itself.
