I joined the KB waiting list based purely on hype, particularly because of the Wine Spectator ratings. Recently, while visiting my alma-mater, I stumbled upon a bottle of the 2005 Sonoma Coast at the Last Resort Grill in Athens, GA. The wine was absolutely fabulous!! I was very taken with it and the restaurant was only charging $65/bottle - what a steal!! I imagine that this wine will only get better over the next 2-3 years.
I realize now what all the hype is about - these wines are truly amazing. The only bad thing about tasting the wine is now I know what I'm missing. I hope the wait isn't too long.
