I thought I’d offer up a collector cabernet because everyone’s gonna have an extra buck or two in their pockets. (Yeah, right.)
A little while back I gave away a Peter Lehman Stonewall Shiraz that you 8 readers cleaned me out of in 3 days because you know a bargain when you see one. Well, I’m gonna do something similar again. Mayacamus Vineyard is a small winery that sits high above the Napa Valley near the top of Mount Veeder in the Mayacamus mountains. Its old stone winery sits on the edge of a dormant volcano. The steep volcanic soils yield small crops of tiny intensely flavored grapes. This leads to wines of complex structure and flavor. This ‘99 cabernet is a very limited release that will cellar 15 to 20 years - a wine collector’s cabernet.
I have a total of 17 bottles, sixteen of which I will sell at two dollars over my cost. (I’ll even show you the invoice.) The one bottle I will have open on Wednesday for anyone to sample. Stop by for a taste, but it will only last so long. I know this isn’t for everyone at 62 bucks a bottle (I normally get $90), but it’s a real lay-down bottle for a special occasion. Like when the country goes bankrupt. Drink a toast to hard times!
