On a recent weekday I spent a day wine tasting in Napa Valley with a group of friends. The weather was warm for December, in the mid 60s, and mostly overcast. The drive from Stockton to Napa takes us through the San Francisco Bay Delta.
I recently saw a wine rated 97 points that had “spirituous heat from relatively high alcohol”. That got me thinking about wine rating and scoring.
Dave brought over a 2000 Beaulieu Vineyards Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon the other night for us to have with dinner.

Let me admit that I’m not a big fan of domestic Merlot. While there are some good ones, even a few excellent ones, I find most American Merlot is generic red wine.
