Though this particular tasting group has never needed an excuse before, we chose the 74th anniversary (or the 75th celebration) of Repeal Day to open some great wines, eat some steaks and argue far into the night about wines and life (or, are those the same thing?). The proposed theme was the oldest CA wine you could find, but either some of us didn't really look too hard, or there was some taking out of insurance by bringing more recent wines that we knew would show well.
