King of Cabs

Vintage wine merchantのKING OF CABS: Pre-Halloween Editionに行ってきた。
クラブメンバー15ドルで飲めたのは以下のとおり。

2006 Staglin Family Cabernet Sauvignon $147.98 -> $147.98
2005 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red Wine $$124.98 -> $104.00
2005 Vice Versa Cabernet Sauvignon $99.98 -> $73
2006 Cliff Lede Poetry $139.98 -> $139.98
2005 Corison Kronos Vineyard $97.98 -> $84
2005 Juslyn Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Estate $99.98 -> $75
2006 Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain $64.98 -> $60
2005 Revana Cabernet Sauvignon $114.98 -> $90
2006 Arietta Quartet $84.98 -> $72
2006 Hollywood and Vine $82.98 -> $70
2006 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon $128.98 -> $100
2005 Hestan “Hestan Vineyard” Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa Valley $119.98 -> $99
2001 Kathryn Kennedy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon $129.98 -> $90

それにしても、ものすごい人でした。私たちは急いで6時前にカープールして到着したんだけども、それでぎりぎり座れました。テースティングもだんだん込み始めて大行列!100人くらいはピークでいたんじゃないかな。ディナーに向かう人も多いので、回転は速かったようですが・・・あなどれませぬ。


これだけ飲むと、何がなんだかわからないと思いつつ、好き嫌いがよくわかりました♪
Cab単体より、ブレンドのが好きです。
旦那と私は、大体好みが似てるようで(とはいえCabはあまりたくさん飲めないんだよね)、悩んだ末、大好きな2005 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red Wineを買いました。もちろんブレンド(笑)・・・ まだまだ寝かせると美味しそうだったのでしばらくおいとく予定です。2006 Staglin Family Cabernet Sauvignon、2005 Juslyn Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Estate、2005 Revana Cabernet Sauvignonも好きだったかな。Insigniaはありませんでした。残念。

左側の値段が、このお店の通常価格。右側がこの日だけの価格。Cliff ledeとStaglinは少量生産なので、割引なし。というわけで、いつ買っても一緒の値段なのであせる必要なし。

それにしても15ドルでこんなにテースティングできるとは思ってなかったので幸せ~



今回のはほんとにテースティングレベルでしかついでもらえませんでしたが、この間シャンパンテースティングにいったときは、グラス半分くらいついでくれました。これからホリデーシーズンは毎週日曜はシャンパンウイークエンドのようなので、これから通いそうです♪ 11月のイベント。こんなにあるなんて、近所に住んでてよかった~。どうせならSantana rowに住めば、と旦那には言われたが、、、(昔は自分が嫌だといってたくせに。)

(毎週日曜は泡、あとボージョレー、King of Cabsの第二段もあったりしまする。)

Joli Vin is a small import and distribution company based in the Bay Area, committed to seeking out the smaller, artisan winemakers from France (and Italy) whose emphasis is clearly on quality, not volume. Each family-owned winery they represent is passionately focused upon representing their own region’s unique terroir, varietals, and winemaking traditions. Folks, this is the fourth consecutive year we’ve had Gary come and his wines always blow people away! Guess what? He’s got some NEW WINES (particularly in BURGUNDY) in his portfolio and they are FANTASTIC! These are some of the most interesting, well-made, tasty wines we have in the store they represent unbelievable value for the money.

Pinnacles of Pinot & Le Beaujolais est Arrive
Thursday, November 19, 2009 from 6:00 PM
$30.00/person + tax, $15 for Club Members
All paid attendees receive one bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau.
Bonjour mon amis! It’s that time of year again—the third Thursday of November—when the whole world unites in mutual celebration marking the end of the current year’s growing season by gathering together to gulp down copious amounts of Beaujolais Nouveau, the quaffable first juice of said harvest. It’s a wonderful excuse to get together with friends and raise a glass. Beyond this, what’s especially fun about this occasion this year is that we are combining it with our annual Pinnacles of Pinot tasting.

In a couple days, we’ll spar with the Big Boys during the King of Cabs, staining our teeth and straining our palates with the intensity, tannic structure, oak aging of Cabernet. Now it’s time for grace and elegance. Of all the world’s great varietals, Pinot Noir is the standard bearer of nuance; intoxicating, multi-faceted, finicky, yet capable of capturing your mind AND body. No other grape can match it for sheer seductiveness. Come out and treat your Self with the hedonistic pleasure of these amazing, world-class Pinots.

Thanksgiving Morning at the Vintage Wine Merchants
Thursday, November 26, 2009 from 10:00 - 1:00 PM
This is our fourth year in a row opening on Thanksgiving. I have strict orders to stay out of the way and stay out of the kitchen on Thanksgiving, so we open for a few hours, drink some bubbles and take a toast to the Turkey. So if you need a quick glass of wine before the in-laws arrive or if you just want to say hello, come give us a visit. Gobble, Gobble.
