But if it's the setting, don't go there again.

I remember when I used to work at the wine store that people would come in all excited and ask for a wine, something like Ch. Cadillac, that they had on there trip to France.
They always said "It is the greatest wine I've ever had".
We'd sell them a bottle knowing that the next time they came in they would say " Something must of happened to it during the shipping".
Then we'd ask "Where did you have it over in France?"
"Oh, it was a beautiful night at a charming restaurant overlooking the most gorgeous river. It was our favorite part of the trip."
No wine can ever live up to that setting.

yeah, it's tough to reproduce a really special event like venice, but I can drive over to Carneros in an hour just about any time and that Le Reve will be there and be good! if only I could get to Venice that easily.

    Hopefully the couple seconds out of the cellar won't hurt any...
    Please pardon the mess - our medium cellar also shares space in our storage room :)
