Well, we have read the newspaper stories of this mysterious vintage, (LA Times on Saturday) and how this pricey tasting wine is selling for $1.98 bottle. No Trader Joes near me, but I foudn three cases in the market, at $1.98 bottle. Is it any good? Is it worth $20 a bottle as the Times implied? AFter dinner, I will post the taste tests.

I finally tried these. My humble opinions:The Merlot was pretty harsh and nasty - alcoholic finish and BOLD taste. The Sauv Blanc and the Chardonnay were way too sweet for my tastes. The Cab - oh the Cab. The 2000 Cab is OK to good. The 99 Cab (if you can still find any) is VERY, VERY good and a bargain even if it were around $8-$10.
I bought one case of the 99 Cab. If I could find more I would buy 4 or 5 cases, it's that good.

Call me a wine snob but I would have been scared to drink something that cheap. The world's not a safe place these days.
