This is...Wow- This sounds like an amazing event. <BR/><BR/>This is a great reminder that I need to explore more Washington wines. The last one that blew my socks off was an 01 Andrew Will Ciel Du Cheval.

I threw some new French wood at it, and it rested in bbl for about 18 months. One of my favorite wines I made at Basel! Can't wait for you to check out my new venture!<BR/><BR/>TreyTreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921294477654055380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033502476730800782.post-75532001734033146642008-07-28T08:06:00.000-07:002008-07-28T08:06:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921294477654055380noreply@blogger.com
