We started in the early afternoon in the wine cellar!
We were allowed to compare a number of Cabernet Sauvignon's and then moved on to dinner at Sam's by the Beach to try the new pre-fixe dinner advertised in the local Pacific Palisades paper.
Before we left the cellar for Sam's, we lifted two magnums and they were the bomb!
After a perfect dinner with our friend Sam, we put the lawyer in the cab and told him to have a safe trip to the East Coast on the red-eye.
We retreated back to The Hilltop for a little clean-up, the wine of course. Tough life!
Here's the list of wines we tasted in the cellar before dinner at Sam's:
- 1980 Silver Oak, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
- 1986 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Estate Bottled
