Wine

The 1996 Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow is a great bottle of wine... normally... except this one was corked. Very slightly, but it still put a kabash on the fruit and underlying layers... The 2006 Sea Smoke Southing Pinot Noir continues to rock... a great bottle of wine. See previous notes. The 1998 Stags Leap Wine Cellars "SLV" was very good, if a bit green. Better than most 98s I've had, and it says something that this wine has held up far better than it's better rated brother in the 1997 vintage (could be the most over-rated vintage in history, btw....)
