Great lineup of wines, Dale, and fun notes to read. As the owner of a
single bottle of the '99 Chave, I am grateful for the status report, as
it were. As usual, I am continually impressed with ability of your
group (Mark and Craig, this time; John usually, too) as blind tasters.
This certainly strains the credibility of those who proclaim that
"experts" can't identify vineyards and producers and years blind. I'd
also not realized that there was a woman in SOBER until now.
