Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars-Cask 23-Estate-Cabernet Sauvignon-Napa Valley-California-2000-$110.00-The Super Bowl calls for pulling out a prize from the cellar, decanted for 1+ hour, nose was a elegant currant and spice, beautiful dark amber in color.  Smooth, great flavors of currants, some earth, spice, great mouth feel, 30-45 second finish.  It’s always a bit scary when you open an older wine and hope and it’s aged well, this one did not disappoint in any way.  I was sad when I took the last sip, what a great bottle of wine.           WS-91         CR-5          Great with prime rib, onion soup, chicken.

Wellington Vineyards-Chardonnay-Sonoma County-California-2007-$10.99-A crsip nose of spice and citrus, medium yellow color.  A smooth spicy citrus mouthful, lemon zest, a good solid Chard, a great value.  Had last year, enjoyed even more this time.            NR            CR-4-4.5          Good with salads, seafood, chicken.
