Bourassa 2005 Zinfandel Napa Valley

So about 1 1/2 hours ago, I was agonizing over if I should open a bottle of Bourassa we picked up on our Napa trip, or go for the cheap-o, pee-on-the-floor Borsao (which, by the way still has my mind spinning about the secret to making dirt cheap not-so-bad wine)...

AND also beating myself up, wondering why didn't I go to Cost Plus / World Market and pick up some wine before 9pm?

It's Friday night people, and this is the highlight of our night. Which wine we should drink when we struggle for a solid 2 hrs. putting our kids down and trying to do some work well into the night.

So clearly we went with the Bourassa.

And all I can think right now is WHY in the heck would I ever not drink the best bottle in the house? SERIOUSLY - this wine is so good. Totally different than my normal style - I'd say it's pretty California, but in a good way.

PLUS, as I'll get to some day, the people at Bourassa are awesome.


We had the Zinfandel - $28/bottle. So totally awesome.


BTW, this is 1 of the 3 winery clubs we joined on our trip to Napa...
