I've had most vintages, though I've neglected the last couple years. Was a big fan of the mid-2000s wines they were putting out

Martin I'm on board with best wine of the night and believe me that's splitting hairs as all the wines were terrific. The Jarvis just had so much depth and the back end lingered on and on very complex! Your selections were off the charts my friend

Hey @Drew Feinberg - I think you guys may have misunderstood my question. I only referred to inventory management as it sounds like @Martin G Rivard has a lot of wines. It was meant to be a cryptic joke, nothing more.

I truly can't stress how incredible that wine was! I donated 12 of my 24 in inventory to a wine society function and they were gobbled up by 40 people. It truly was spectacular

Not your typical US pinot. Great balance. Thanks for the special evening Martin. You set a high standards for all of us. Can't wait for the encore.
