From a Wine Barn (Orlando, FL) email alert. I'm tempted to fly down for it, but the better half would not be happy.

Saturday ~ April 17, 2010
5:30pm - 7:30pm
...10 Days AWAY!

Only 40 Tickets Available...
One of the BEST Tasting Line-Ups EVER!!
One-Time Event that will Blow You Away...Don't Miss Out!
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE LINE-UP ALL 95 Points or Higher!!!
...by the TOP CRITICS:

Includes RIEDEL Glass to Take Home!

2007 Plumpjack Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Napa Valley:

"Voluptuous and creamy on the palate, this loaded, well-balanced wine is a total turn-on. A glass-coating opaque purple, it exhibits a sensational nose of earth, mushroom, leather, blueberry, and blackberry jam. On the palate the wine is supple-textured, complex, with vibrant flavors of spicy blue and black fruits and a big-time WOW factor." - Robert Parker

HARDEST TO FIND WINES IN THE WORLD:
Leonetti Cellars ~ Walla Walla, Washington


And the state offers us a tiny pour of Yellow Tail in a plastic cup on occasion...

Yeah but what's the price? And wouldn't drinking an '04 Brunello or '07 Plumbjack Cab now be waaay premature? (I'm just trying to put a positive spin on the fact that I won't be able to participate.)

They are all rated 95+ by Parker, so you know they're super-extracted...wish I could go...
