Thanks @romo for the BdM CC vertical of 08, 09, and 13. Here we have @Bill Bender taking his Delectable shot on one hell of a patio. The 08 stood out to me as being the standout evening, although that was debated between the tasters — 8 years ago

Enjoyed all three, although the '09 was my fave of the group. BTW, nice job of avoiding Bill's bald spot in the photo. He's sensitive about that.

Going along with a themed vertical of Togni Estate reds, I had this 1980 Cuvaison Chardonnay to begin the evening. He was the winemaker at the time. Outperformed expectations...very honeyed in color, mounds of flint, another fun example of well stored aged Cali wines. — 8 years ago
