I drank this one last weekend. One of the best wines I ever had. No ice cubes.

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!eddiec said:"I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/080 -
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 onemcgruff10 said:I drank this one last weekend. One of the best wines I ever had. No ice cubes.0 -
Every vintage is different but yeah, $300 is the bare minimum I’d imagineThe Juggler said:0 -

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!All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0

Oh, geez, yes, save it! Drinking window probably starts in about 7 or 8 years, extending more than a decade from there. Enjoy!jeffbr said:

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.tempo_n_groove said:

No. I'm right there with you. California wines are a dime a dozen, so to speak.Cliffy6745 said:

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.Cliffy6745 said:

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.0 -
I never really drank brunello, what would you compare it to? Cab? Pinot noir?Bentleyspop said:
