"I thought you might be interested in a blind wine tasting we participated in last night. Along with an excellent beef dinner, we had 4 different Cabernet Sauvignon wines, all sealed in bags to prevent identification. We knew that three were 2005 Cabs and one was a 1999 Cab. We also knew one was a Napa Silver Oak, one was a Viansa V Cab, one was Bortoni Cab. The fourth wine was unknown, but brought by a very savvy wine taster. When all was said and done, one wine was judged by 3 of the 5 tasters as the very best and we all predicted it to be the Silver Oak. But, oh no! When the bags were removed from the bottles, we found that the favored wine was not Silver Oak - it was a 2005 Lucchesi Cab! And, it was really good!
We are looking forward to our next visit to Lucchesi."
