ignorant oneophile needs help Zara, I hope that I can help. As this NG's biggest, fattest, most pompous stuffed- shirt, with more wine in my cellar, than I can drink in my life-time, I happen to fancy a Napa, CA-US Cab, Diamond Creek. While I have many bottles from different years, there are many that I have missed. As luck would have it, Diamond Creek produces from three vineyards, constantly: Volcanic Hill, Red Rock Terrace, and Gravely Meadow, plus the Lake Vineyard, on occasion. To really wow the birthday-boy, I would suggest a vertical-horizontal of say 5 years of Diamond Creek. Get one btl of each, the RRT, VH & GM for five vintages. Add the LV bottlings, when they were done. Simple, albeit rather expensive. However, the b-b will be knocked out of his socks at such a gift. Oh, and disregard the comments by some here. They were just afraid that my feelings might be hurt by the characterization. I greatly appreciate their concern, but it was totally unnecessary. Gosh, their efforts almost make me blush. Enjoy the birthday party, and pray that the b-b invites you over for his wonderful tasting party of all the DC wines. Hunt
