Professor Bainbridge...on law, politics, religion, culture & food
Silver Oak (Napa Valley) 1998
Another 1998 that’s gone down the tubes. Undrinkable. Volatile acidity competes with something very funky. Grade: E
New rule: Drink up the California 1998s now!
Corollary to the new rule: Always have a backup bottle ready to go when opening a 1998 California red wine.
