I had a glass of this 1982 Inglenook at Bern's Steakhouse, in Tampa,
Florida, about a year-and-a-half ago. It was my first and only experience,
thus far, with Inglenook. I was pretty impressed. I don't know anything
about 1982 California cabernets, except that I think I remember reading that
it wasn't a top vintage. The '82 Inglenook didn't taste young but it
certainly had plenty of fruit in it. I was very surprised. Of coure,
Bern's stores their wines very well. Ever since I drank that Inglenood I've
wanted to buy a bottle of Niebaum-Coppola's Rubicon to hold for a while.
