1989 Château Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

** Erroneous Note ** Cellar Tracker has a bad index. I've twice selected a different (everyday drinker) to consume and add a note, but it keeps selecting this wine. I went a different route to correct that bottle. Really: a Haut-Brion and Thai food? ** (Original note read "Good pairing for Thai food.") Sorry all...

9/14/15, 4:39 PM - No, no, this did not happen! CellarTracker's database is sometimes off. I search for bottles by location, clicked on a very inexpensive, everyday drinker and consumed it. Twice now it incorrectly drank the wrong bottle. Really, a Haut-Brion with Thai food? What kink of pairing is that?? I caught this moments ago. Thanks for your comment--that's one for the scrapbook! -- Mike

2012 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary Napa Valley

Saw the bottle on the shelf at Safeway. Read through some of your comments and have decided it may not be worth the risk.
They are asking $74.99, is that too high?

mhenry commented:

1/28/15, 10:13 PM - Too high. Should be able to get a 750 ml for $50-55, or a 1 L for $65-70. I also read with dread the various comments, so I used my Coravin to sample 2 oz, and found it fine.

2007 Paraduxx (Duckhorn Vineyards) Proprietary Red Napa Valley Red Blend

flawed

Very weird bottle. This was a 375, and I stored it perfectly, yet it was like drinking port: thick, licorice...not the Paraduxx I expected. Perhaps it was already aged when I received it. Not bad, but port and pasta were not a great combo. Better try my other half bottles soon.

Followup: Que Syrah Syrah talked me into marking this bottle "flawed" rather than weird. It wasn't anything like the other Paraduxx's I've had. I agree, and will try to drink another of my 375's to see what's going on.
