I drank a lot of wine this night, but didn't take notes on anything and the night was such a flurry that I don't really even remember much of the wine. All it was very enjoyable though.

-Gobelsburger, Riesling, Austria, 2007
-Laurent Perrier, Grand Siecle, Champagne, NV
-Bernkasteler Wolf, Riesling ?????
-Kosta Browne, Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, 2005 (A great example of why people complain about California wines. The Alcohol and the fruit were overwhelming. It smelled beautiful and complex, but that intense aroma was carried by the heavy alcohol. And on the palate it was just too much. I totally understand why it appeals to people, but I don't understand why James Laube scores these wines so highly. I actually didn't like it. We left half a glass on the table.)
-Chateau d'Yquem, Sauternes, 1999 (perhaps the finest wine on the planet! It's just so freakin good. I've it a handful of times and it always evolves, from youth to aged, it always gets more compelling and complex in the absolute most intriguing ways. It is something that must be tasted to be believed. It's surreal and unlike any other beverage I've ever tasted. Get some!)
-Levendi, Late Harvest Chardonnay, Napa (This sucked compared to the d'Yquem)
