Went to dinner earlier this week to do some celebrating with my coworkers and was reintroduced to Dominus. We had their last bottle of '04 Cab and two bottles of '05 (there were 5 of us). I'd forgotten how good that wine is, although I'm not quite sure if it's worth the sticker price (I just found it online for $60/bottle for '05). Tasty, but probably expense account wine for clients.
Also, I really can't say enough good things about the Frank Family Zinfandels. The wife and I have had about 4 bottles in 12 days, and it's just plain old yummy stuff. I tried a reserve last night with some salmon, and I honestly didn't taste much of a difference between it and the lower priced version. Perhaps it will bottle-age into something different, but if you're interested and you're going to be drinking it within a year, don't bother with the reserve.
