Just had a 1995 Ferrari-Carano Tresor tonight with some family, what a difference between this and the 1993, much bigger juicy red fruit with hints of cedar, a great wine with plenty of life left

You're comparing two very different vintages. 1995 was by far among the best in the past I have no idea how many years, similar to 2001 and 2005. 1993 was, well, similar to 1998 and 2008 (very bad that is).

It is pretty interesting to taste the difference between the two vintages, I wouldn't say that the 1993 was bad but definitely not nearly as good as the 1995, I am glad I have 1 more bottle.

Had a 06' Clos Du Bois last night it was my first Cab I ever tried 2 years ago. Still love it. Funny I used to hate Red Wines, and drank sweet whites (ice wine, Reisling), now I don't like them.
Have my taste matured or is it just in my head? |

Their high end for some time now. In Bay Area its all over the place, not sure how much of it makes it out of Bay Area, but then you can say that about many other CA wines. CA wine selection on the Right Coast is piss pour, even at best shops. Interestingly enough, West Coast shops also have better selection of Old World wines as well. We seem to be drinking better

I don't think they'll get as low a price as here. I've been buying 2000 Ch Fortia CdP for $11 and no sales tax in MA.

drinking too much might occur at a herf but I rarely do. I however more than likely forget the names of people i meet, cigars i smoke and wines I drink. Never do I forget a face.

![]() Wine is not meant to be drunk to excess. That's what liquor is for ![]() Most of the latter herfs you have missed included a good number of bottles, you just didn't attend. But another drinking herf is a good possibility. I just need to get back from FL first... |

Once the serious part of a wine tasting is done, start pounding them back! It’s not a wine event unless there’s at least 1.5 bottles per person. I like to keep port wine events to at least 1 bottle per person.
Keep the thimbles for sewing!

![]() We try to "adjust" since, but we never have less than 2+ per person and this on top of other wines we open before we proceed to the official part of the tasting, easy whites and sparklers to calibrate and cleanse the palate. And plenty of food, of course, before, during and after... |

I don't think 5 minutes on a wine is that much, depending how detailed of a review one wants.
Give me 2 minutes and my score will as close as any of the big names I agree with.

Here's a picture of a Jean Bourdy tasting I went to the other night. Jura wines are among the longest living and able to age wines available. Their whites can age 150 years no problem.
