Sounds like fun. I've had the Mt. Veeder Zin. Maybe not that vintage, but I remember it as a very good wine with high alcohol content. Zins were my first love for many years, but I don't like very many of the new ones. While Zin is a wine that is usually consumed young, an older one should be interesting if the cork has held. The Coppola wine is a collector's item. Very special, as I'm sure you know. Enjoy. Paul On Dec 24, 2006, at 1:40 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote:
