Year	Wine	Price	Rating
2001	White Rock Cabernet, Napa Valley An K&L wine club wine that has been so good the first time I tried, but was disappointed twice later. cherry, mushroom, a hint of sherry, simple, possibly oxydized. - so - ws	23.99	**
2004	Paul Hobbs Cabernet, Napa Valley very aromatic, blackberry liqueur, plum, rosemary, finishing a bit awkward with raisin - so - ws	69.99	****½
2004	Grace Vineyard Chairman's Reserve, China Bordeaux blend from China (not Grace Family of Napa), tasted blind to other friends. Most identified bordeaux, then switched to Australian, finally switched to Rhone. Quite illusive but not impressive. To me it tasted like southern rhone or languedoc throughout. Not representative of Bordeaux blend. pepper, Chinese Chu Hull sauce, mineral, lacking depth - so - ws	50	***
2003	Monbousquet, St. Emilion orange chocolate, spice, vanilla, somewhat simpler than previous tastings - so - ws	50	***½
2004	Moulin de la Gardette, Gigondas pepper, plum, simple - so - ws	23.95	**
