I've been drinking good California wine for nearly 30 years and I have no clue what wine you're talking about.

Why so secretive?

Sorry, I wasn't intending to be smug. Pahlmeyer meritage was commonly referred to as "sex in a bottle" in SF and NY when I was living in those cities back in the 90s and early 2000s. I just assumed that description was prevalent everywhere. Guess I was wrong.

  In your original post you write that the wine in question "was pinot noir" (sic). Yet in your reply to Mike you state that the wine was Pahlmeyer meritage. Problem being, PM does not contain Pinot Noir. Rather, it's a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot and Malbec.

  I must not be a wine nut because that was nowhere near what I would have thought of.

  ...NY cult thing.
  
  Probably not SF.
  
  I have heard of Pahlmeyer, but not the "sex in a bottle thing" and I've lived an hour from Napa and 30 minutes from SF for those 30 years.

    Rombauer "Crack"?
    
    Still can't wait to go by their tasting room and drop that story on them.

I'm assuming it is Far Niente "Dolce". Pretty ubiquitous as a California sweet wine.

Don't know if he's being smug or doesn't know any other dessert wines.

  ...I've tasted some desert muscats, but the only sweet wine I like is port.
