Jen and I tied for 7th with the ’02 Fetzer. It wasn’t what we had initially intended to bring, but we ran out of time on Saturday before the party. We were planning on bringing a bottle of Kendall-Jackson Sauvignon Blanc, which is a great wine and with which we are very familiar. A couple years ago on TI we went to a warehouse sale at KJ and came home with five cases of wine, three of which were the sauvignon blanc. I don’t recall the year, but it was some kick-ass Sauvignon Blanc.
