We actually travel to Napa each February for the Cakebread Cabernet release party. The rest of the wineries we visit are scheduled around this party. As Cakebread wine club members, we are some of their biggest fans.
Cakebread really went all-out on their party this year. We've been attending this annual event for years but this was by far the nicest party yet. Their 2009 Cabernet was featured since it was the new release but this year they opened up the cellar and brought out some older vintages. The 2006 Benchland Select was incredible, as always. The 2004 Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon was very popular with several in our crowd. The show-stopper, in my humble opinion, was the Dancing Bear Ranch (Howell Mountain) Cabernet Sauvignon. This year's feature was the 2003 vintage. It was fantastic. My collection of Dancing Bear continues to grow.
