A few days ago Jerry, Paul, and I skipped out on the State Republican Convention.
We had been running late that evening and even though intended to go - didn't feel
like it so we decided to open a BIG bottle of 1991 Caymus Special Select Cabernet
Sauvignon and compare it to a 2003.
I won't go into all of the flavor profiles or specific experiences but I will
tell you they were good!!!!That's all you need to know. We are professional
wine drinkers so we didn't invite anyone else who might have had an
Jerry took care to open this bottle and we sniffed the small amount of air and aroma from the 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon.
It had a great "nose" and even better taste. We begin our tasting
Friday evening around 8:30 PM with several different cheese and olive
and bread platters. I think we did eat some of the food.
We actually started with a nice bottle of 337 Cabernet to get our "mouths"
ready. Then we drank the BIG bottle of Caymus, then the 2003 Caymus
and finished with another bottle of the 337. (The second bottle of 337 didn't
have the same quality as I remember that it had when we started, can you imagine?)
We finished the evening by signing the bottle and I will display it at
the restaurant so everyone who sees it will wonder why they weren't
there with us to enjoy it with us. (Perhaps they didn't get the memo?)
Our next Tasting should really be a good one. There is a list of five wines
I think it is time to open. But I really don't have the time to go into it
right now. Keep an eye out for the "memo".

Now it all makes sense, I get my desire to find other distractions to political activities from you!
I don't care which side of the isle you're on - this sounds like a much more pleasant way to spend the evening - and we don't even drink!
