Hell of a birthday from a wine standpoint… got to enjoy this 1999 Guigal Cote Rotie which was incredible (black and blue fruit, black licorice and black olive, crazy high acid, some pepper and a super long finish).
Then my wife surprised me with a bonus gift at the end of the night… 2008 Angelus for the cellar. Oh and we’re taking work off Friday and hitting Corison and Chappellet. Life is good!

She’s a keeper.
Nice that you’re hitting Corison vineyards, you might meet Cathy in person. Their Kronos is really good. At Chappellet, buy a bottle and drink by their picnic area overlooking lake Hennessy. Sometimes no one has booked it and enjoy the view for 1.5 hours. Their 2013 Cab Pritchard Hill is also amazing. Two good wineries. If you still have time Oakville market has descent pour of high end Napa wines that you can purchase. You will blown away by their lineup. Enjoy!
Daaamn! Happy birthday!
