If you're from napa and work for or used to work for a winery look here.

You bought my 60g tank quite a few years ago. it had a pearl white stand and came with 175w MH. You came in a dark color truck that night I can't reconise the exact color.

Sound like a miss connection ad? haha

Anyways, you brought a bottle of wine for me that night but I never got around to drinking it until a few months ago. Not sure if it was too little for too many of us but among us we had like 5 bottles and we all agreed that the one bottle that didn't have the label (yours) was our favorite.

Anyways, I want to hunt you down for some more. So if that's you PM me please. THANKS!

While I don't drink too much wine, my wife uses a lot for cooking. One night while my wife was cooking and tasting says the bottle I got from Brian was one of the best she ever came across from all that she's bought in the past...

That's gotta be him then.

I can't tell from a $10 bottle to a $100 dollar bottle but I had the exact thought as your wife.

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.

gosh darnit Brian, I was all excited and was ready to trade you all my SPS for a box of those.

I'll poke around to see if Bev Mo have 'em. Might have to hit you back on where to buy info if I have no luck.

I recently got a Private Reserve 2004 Cabernet from Beringer, it is the most amazing cabernet I've ever had... best wine I've ever had really so far. I don't drink that much wine, but I do go wine tasting a lot and I always order wine with my fancier dinners. Man it was good! I only bought one bottle, they're a bit pricey around the $115 range, but ooh so worth it.
