The Monday night Somm Study Group did a Vertical tasting on 2007, 2008 & 2009 Scott Harvey Old Vine Zinfandel Reserve

Honeymoon, Africa, Cape Town, and Wine! (Part Seven – Safari Week)
The wine country surrounding Cape Town would be for me; the safari in Sabi Sands would be for her; Victoria Falls in Zambia would be for us.
NEVADA Bourbon! ‘Murica!
