Arise!

Not entirely dead! I'm back working in an office so I haven't been able to take delivery of many internet wine shipments. This has put a bit of a crimp in my review habits, but mostly I've had my time and attention sucked into other areas.

This just in - Sebastiani 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is also good! They've raised the price a bit each year since 2003 and rightfully so. At $17 it's a good wine but not a great deal anymore. Costco may have it at the old price of $13 but I haven't been there to check the last few months.

Wines that I've recently sampled from my Sacramento/Gold Coast trip are still excellent, in particular Vino Noceto and Cooper. My high rankings weren't just due to the thrill of being there.
