Introduction
A close friend and I are both 1967 babies so we decided to throw a joint shindig at my house roughly in between our respective birthdays. I’m already 40 and he’s got about a month to go. The wines were all from my cellar and have been appropriately stored since I came into possession of them. I apologize for the brief and erratic notes, but it was much more of a party than a tasting so I didn’t have the time to really focus on all of the wines. What “notes” I did take were more scattered impressions dictated into my digital recorder which I had a devil of a time extricating from a variety of other crap that got recorded as the night wore on. I’ve taken the liberty of forming complete sentences from the recording. While I do regret not having more time to linger over all of the bottles, I also rarely have an excuse to open wines like these and this occasion was a good one. It was a blast to hang out and drink some stellar juice with my most intimate friends and family. After a few mags of Nicholas Feuillatte NV Brut bubbly (a perfectly serviceable party quaffer), the reds came out.
