agxo3 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Please check images of my exhibit at the Hiraya gallery website. http://www.hiraya.com/exhibits/brass/default.asp Warm regards to all. I'll be at Hiraya on Wednesday from 10am until matapos yung interview, on Saturday morning for the shutterbugs eb and next Monday (Aug 20) which is a holiday for merienda so pwede pang humabol si Agxo. We can have the wine eb on Sunday night, Aug 19. 20th is a holiday? What holiday?? And why does my nephew still have school that day?? Merienda on Monday is definite possibility. Need to hear from my cousin about Monday then we'll be set to go! Still planning to bring a bottle but (unfortunately!) not 3! Opened a 98 Retzlaff cab for dinner Saturday and finished it off yesterday. It's getting better and better....... Picked up a cab from a place called Boaventura in Livermore. They're only open one weekend a month so you gotta call ahead to check! We got lucky, and they were open. They have two small (about 2 acres each) vineyard of cab - one on a flat, with rich red soil, and one on a slope with the same red soil but a LOT of rocks. The two vineyards are only 50 yards apart at the closest. So - same grape, same winemaker, same vintage, 50 yards apart - and what a difference the soil makes!!! What a vivid example of "terroir"! You can taste, see, smell the difference between the two. The wine from the flat is lush, almost floral, and rich. The wine from the slope is austere, with a much tighter nose and heartier tannins with the big structure to go with it. Both are great, and I am hard pressed to pcik a favorite. I bought a bottle of the blend of the two - the perfect compromise. Edited August 14, 2007 by agxo3 Quote Link to comment

The last day of the show is on Monday so pwede mo pa talagang makita yung show! Kung hindi pwede kay Lips, pwede sa amin if it's okay with the other winos. @masi Thanks pare. Miss ka na namin.

masi Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Peppercorn Lane 2002 Cabernet Merlot Deep red to violet color; lively nose- floral, licorice and vanilla; Flavorful with hints of pepper, oak, caramel. Finish was short... quite disappointing really (but since I'm enjoying a glass of wine in the mid-day of work, I can't really complain!!!) Quote Link to comment
