SF Wine Auction

Tonight, the lovely young lady and I went to a wine auction sponsored by the Guardsmen of San Francisco. The night was a ton of fun (though I am suffering through it right now), and I wanted to point out three fantastic wineries. First, for some truly wonderful Pinot noir, check out Freeman Vinyard & Winery. Second, the Detert Carbnet Franc was the wine of the night. Truly exceptional. Finally, Cheval des Andes was a joint venture between Cheval Blanc and an Argentina producer -- making for a truly gifted and exquisite wine blended from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon,. In short, this was a great night (which, coincidently, celebrated a big day between the lovely young lady and I), and introduced me to some fantastic wines.

And no, I did not come home with any wine (though I did try to buy some wine from years during which the Germans were defeated in their 20th century attempts at Imperial conquest).
