Top Five Glasses of Wine (#3 -- 1991 Freemark Abbey Bosche Cabernet Sauvignon and 1990 Opus One)

To celebrate the birth of my friend Jim’s first child, we decided to celebrate with our wives over dinner and our best bottles. He brought the Opus One, TheWife and I brought the Freemark Abbey -- and the results were spectacular. This joyous celebration of new life was enhanced by massive California cabernet flavors. I gave a slight edge to the Freemark Abbey, but both were amazing. Today, the celebrated child has grown into a wonderful young man, and the memories of those bottles also live on.

Best, Joe Plonk
