B.A. Grill at the very least has the Reserva, I think they charge in the neighborhood of $45 a bottle for it onsite. BTW, the 2004 Reserva is also available for shipping at The Wine Club (6 stores in the L.A. area) at $13.99 a bottle, which is where Missy and I loaded up on the 2003. Haven't had the 2004 Reserva yet, but we might try it at dinner. I'll bring a nice Malbec or blend that Gaucho100K shipped up here for me at the "after" tasting, so if you'd prefer not to have to drag too much vino on board, I think I'll have Mendoza covered for Saturday night.
Sounds good. I can get a pretty good discount on half or full case purchases as a member of the club up here, so I guess I'll pick some up. We drank the Reserva at a friend's house last weekend. She bought the good stuff. I bought the price point, so we could compare....and then did not compare. That's why I still have it. It's a long story.............
I'll present the French vs Woodinville battle
