My apologies, this isn’t a story about an older vintage of KB, but rather a nice note about a recent KB experience. I recently had the pleasure taking my parents (whom I don’t get to see very often) out to dinner at Manressa in Los Gatos. As luck would have it, they had just received their allocation of single vineyard KBs that day. I ordered the 2004 KB Amber Ridge to start and it was simply magic in a glass. My mother declared it the “best wine she had ever drank” – and believe me, I make sure my mom drinks well! Later on, we had the 2004 Cohn and I enjoyed it even more (although my mother still swears allegiance to the Amber Ridge!).
I just wanted you to know that the wines that evening made an already special evening simply transcendent. Since my mother’s proclamation of the Amber Ridge being the best wine she’s ever had, I have pursued this wine (along with all the others) relentlessly at auction. I suspect I will have to file for bankruptcy some time in the future given the current market, but it will be worth it. :)
Thanks for making a wonderful evening even better!
Thank you for ruining me financially! :)
