The Best Wine Ever?

Isn't it ironic that the best wine I've ever tasted in fact came from the very vintner who told me he couldn't rightfully say to anyone that any wine was the best wine ever? Don't ya think?

Brandy and I opened a bottle of 2006 Ghost Horse 100% Cabernet Sauvignon last Monday. I feared that the wine (all of the Ghost Horse offerings, that is) for which I'd had such fond memories from Todd Anderson's Ghost Horse Vineyard would be nothing more than a decent to really good wine served at a really special moment. But, no, when the bottle was opened and a small portion poured me to smell, I was floored. Oh my god. How can this be? How can wine, hell, anything, smell this good? Other Cabernets should be ashamed. And then the taste, oh my. I never wanted the bottle to be empty. How can I ever drink another wine? I know, to remind me how damn good Ghost Horse is!

Luckily, I have a couple more bottles to go. I have no idea how I'm not going to drink them immediately. I figure I need to sit on them for a couple for a couple of years. If I could only afford a case...

Oh, and I still have the Ghost Horse Fantome to go!
