1999 Williamsburg Winery Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

High grade swill. Watery. Thought the extra years of ageing would help. Uh-uh. A beautiful evening outside on the deck, dining on steaks, the last weeks of Spring, it should have been magic. Noooo.

Mathew Meyer, the winemaker at WW explains: “We were using an old, rundown DE (diatomaceous earth) machine, it was very abusive to the wine, and we were experiencing a lot of wine loss." Well, that little quote wasn't on the label!

Luckily the T-Bones survived. Ah well, another VA wine off the list.
