Introduction

This is a regular gathering and what was most important were that our adult/teen children were in attendance. This has been a regular evening for the families since our children were 4 years old and now they are 18 years old.

Flight 1 - 1992 Newton Chardonnay Unfiltered 94 pts

Awesome color, bright honey, clean color for the age. The buttery fruit was smooth. The aroma opened in the glasss which told me that this wine can go on for at least another 5 years. What a way to start the evening.

Flight 2 - 1994 Turley Zinfandel Hayne 96 pts and 1994 Turley Zinfandel Moore (Earthquake) 92 pts.

The Hayne had it tonight. The spiciness of a Turley Zin held its own for the entire evening. The dense purple color was edgy. The Moore was also great, it just did not dominate the Hayne. All of the jammy fruits were blended very smoothly. The spices and peppery flavor were all together that this is a wine to drink now.

Flight 3 - Inniskillin Icewine 1998 91 pts

This was a clean, honey like color and clearly was drinking now. Great wine to have with peppermint ice cream and to end the evening.

Closing

While the kids are 18 they stayed for a long time...then they left.
