hey brian thanks for responding, if you had told me how expensive it was and how good it is I'd hide it and drink it myself!
Anyhow, what's the winery called? I'm planning on a wine tasting trip this spring up there. I make short trips to Vallejo all the time for work, how far are you from the Maritime Academy? Can I buy it direct from you?
Also what year was it? I remember it was a relatively new bottle when I gave it to me. Not sure if storing for the past few years did anything to the taste but I sure hope it'll taste like what I had last time.
