Top Five Glasses of Wine (#2 -- 1997 Staglin Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon)

“Order the Constant Diamond Mountain Cab” had been repeated to annoyance by the guy at the end of the table. And, when that bottle arrived, it was indeed super tasty which only elevated his self-perceived importance. So, when it came to my turn to order a bottle, I took aim square at the feather in his tiara. The 1997 Staglin Cabernet Sauvignon must have also included a pinch of poison, because its massive Napa goodness paralyzed him right in his tracks. The deflation of humpty’s head was only icing on the cake to this wonderful wine that lingers glowingly in my memory.

Best, Joe Plonk

P.S. The Wife responded to this posting with: "Revenge is a dish best served with a Napa Cab." That's my girl!
