CLUB WRITEUPS

June 2006 Specialty Club

2003 Justin Isosceles
Just occasionally, I try to get you verticals of really consistent wines.  This is a good example.  We put the 2001 in an earlier club, and the 2002 release of this in the July 2005 club after a shop tasting where it was extremely well received; this wine will hardly be less well-received - and it´s somewhat rare.  The early part of this year saw a horrible fire in a Vallejo wine warehouse where much of Justin´s stock was stored, destroying almost their entire year´s release.  Ouch.  This wine goes for $56.00, and there´s no more.  I´d hold it for another five years, but it´ll drink well now with adequate decanting.

2004 Peter Michael L´Apres-Midi
This is from the great Peter Michael winery, and is primarily Sauvignon Blanc, with a bit of Semillon added for body and depth.  It´s absolutely beautiful, of course, and will drink well over the next three years.   It´s $$43.00, and there is a bit left.  Enjoy!
