Hi everyone

My name is Peter Ong and I am a wine lover from Singapore. I have recently joined the wine board as I find the topics to be most interesting as well as informative.

By the way, has anyone heard of Castoro Cellars in Paso Robles? How would you rate its Cabernet Sauvignons?

Also, I have a Chateau Ste Michelle 1994 CS. Should I drink that now?

What about Dunnewood and its Seven Arches Valley CS? Has anyone tasted that before? I have a 1996, should I drink that too?

Thanks and cheers.

Welcome, Peter. Castoro can produce some nice wines on occasion. CSM should be consumed over the short term.

Hey Peter, Welcome to the board. Buckos` given you solid advice on both of your posts.Castoro on occassion produces some fine wines. Haven`t had any lately so no comment on recent releases. There are a lot of fine Cabs with long track records you can buy for 400 per case. And the good thing is the current releases are mostly from the outstanding 1997 vintage. Lock up as many of these beauties as you can cellar. Some of the better releases are pricy, but I`d rather have 1/2 a case of a great wine than a fullie of blah! Lots of super juice out there rite now. Have fun and drink hearty. winoweenie The Dunnewood is a drinker.
