'05 Beaucastel
'04 Pahlmeyer
'07 SQN Pictures
'07 SQN Labels
'02 Bollinger RD

If the date had fallen on a Burg Thurs, I'd be picking from the 33 bottles of Maison Ilan that we have in common. Though, those are probably the only potential clunkers in that amazing collection

for me "Collection: 177 bottles and 13 pending in 40 wines" I guess i have some things in common. :)

Absolutely brilliant. Having never met Brad but gleaning a bit about the man from others, it makes perfect sense. He is remembered as one who would bring a wine that another would like.

I seem to have many many choices in common. I will raise a glass accordingly.

Agreed! This is a brilliant idea. I've got 11 wines in common and I'll go with the '05 Lewis Cab. Great choice anyway for OTBN, and this gives me one more reason to pull it.
Thanks for the suggestion

I never spoke with Brad (unless he was at the first Cellartracker get-together in Seattle a number of years ago), but have read and enjoyed his posts.

We will raise a glass of Cabernet and toast Brad.

I haven't yet picked out the wines I'm thinking of opening, but I'm contemplating a Shafer HSS and maybe a Champagne or Port. Or maybe just bring the Coravin and a bunch of bottles...

It is a nice concept, and I checked. Unfortunately, as I thought, we have no wines in common. Frugal soul here, and his collection is very very nice. We have one producer in common, but my Turley Zinfandel is not an exact match.

So I looked at varietal then at region. I can at least pick a key varietal from a region in common. Will think about that...there is time.

In common wines:
2008 Carte Blanche Proprietary Red
2005 Château Guiraud
N.V. Krug Champagne Brut
2011 Lillian Winery Syrah
2010 Rasa Vineyards Creative Impulse
2009 Ridge Monte Bello

Leaning towards the Lillian or Guiraud... or may do a special occasion bottle.

As for wines in common - 2009 Continuum This should be just about right, being in that 7 year window.

1985 Graham's Port
2005 Chateau Guiraud
2009 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast
2007 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast
2010 Rivers-Marie Summa Vineyard

I see he was a Shafer fan also, but there's no more Hillside Select in my cellar.

2007 Checkerboard Vineyards Napa Valley
2008 Continuum Proprietary Red Napa Valley
2008 Lillian Winery Syrah Blue Label

Followed by:

1985 Graham Porto Vintage Port Blend

I'm leaning towards the Checkerboard, as it'll be a tribute to the organizer of this event, as well. Scott will understand....
