The Super Cali Extra Delicious Quite A
Cabernicious Tasting
This Past Friday, May 13th, the stage was set and the gauntlet had been
thrown down.  We had eleven of Napa Valley's Big Gun Super California
Cabernet Sauvignons and Meritages going head to head in a blind tasting at
Jennifer and Ian Hastie's.  The competition was fierce, but in the end we had
three wines that stood out above the rest.

We had a contest to see who could successfully pick the three best wines of
predictions, it was newcomer Megan Andrews that won our tiebreaker
taking home a bottle of what would be our Second Place Wine in the tasting,
the 2001 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon.  We also had a contest to see
who could successfully identify the Plumpjack wine in the tasting which was
won by Jennifer Hastie.  The last contest we had was to see which person
could entertain the masses the best by saying "Super Cali Extra Delicious
We had a contest to see who could successfully pick the three best wines of
Quite A Cabernicious Tasting" five times over in the most creative way.  
the evening before we started and although three people tied in their This
was close, but in the end it was Brad Miller, whose horrific opera
performance that caused the neighborhood dogs to howl, that received the
most votes.  Truth be told, I think people voted for him just to get him to quit
singing!
