There’s the red! The carnivor is a real solid cab for the price.
Yes! I tried the Carnivor last weekend and it was very nice. I'm sipping on some Chateau St Michelle chardonnay, nothing fancy but decent, and watching the Panthers game right now. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon

I’ve enjoyed some Chateau Ste Michelle as well, though it was some of their other whites.

I hope saving! At least for a few more years. I've tasted it, and it is spectacular, and will be even better in several years or even a decade or more. Good stuff!

Have heard really good things about this. The guy at the liquor store I go to has been talking it up, it’s always on display, and I think I read something in spectator about it. Will have to grab one

Wow....isn't this stuff like $300ish a bottle?
Every vintage is different but yeah, $300 is the bare minimum I’d imagine

Yay, a wine thread! I'm moving soon, so I'm busy drinking my stash, LOL.
Tonight is a La Crema chardonnay (cheap-ish), with salmon, quinoa, sauteed kale and beet tops, broccoli. Finished off a bottle of 2013 Markham Napa Valley cab earlier (like I said, I'm moving; that calls for more wine).
Finally got around to a dessert wine the other day, Mine Mine Mine Chocolate from Gouger Cellars in Washington. Yum!

Oh, geez, yes, save it! Drinking window probably starts in about 7 or 8 years, extending more than a decade from there. Enjoy!
Do you have a Coravin? Then you could sample it over time as it ages.

2013 library reserve 1.75 ml bottle Way past $300
Well well well. That should come with a hummer from everyone in the Mondavi family.
Bottles can be had for $300ish, but clearly not those...
I drank this one last weekend. One of the best wines I ever had. No ice cubes.
Fantastic wine.
So dude just posted a pic of Opus One, but regarding wine like this. I know they're so good, but I have such a tough time spending $50+ on a Napa Cab or something along those lines. I know they're great and have had plenty, but there are soooooo many good California Cabs that are $30 or so or even less. I feel like I am getting more bang for my buck going old world when I start spending a little more on wine. Like I'd prefer to buy a Brunello/Barolo as a $60+ wine and seek out the good $20-$30 cabs that are highly rated.

No. I'm right there with you. California wines are a dime a dozen, so to speak.

I totally agree with you. I usually don’t spend more than $30/bottle. The stag s leap was a gift. Conn creek is a nice $30/bottle of Napa cab that I usually buy.

You are not crazy. A good brunello or a great one $60 and up is always a good thing.
The Opus One belongs to a friend. He needed one for a special event and is saving the rest. He did share some with me and I enjoyed it but would be just as happy with a good California cab or a Brunello.

I never really drank brunello, what would you compare it to? Cab? Pinot noir?

Tonight, I'm making pizza and cracking open a bottle of red. Tonight I will have wine.
Hands down one of my favorite wines and is only $30 a bottle.

Way past $300
