I was planning on doing a horizontal tasting of all of the Turkey (single
vineyard) Zins from '98.

Actually, 'traminers, Rieslings, Pinot Noirs (depending on need for fruit -
Carneros or Central Coast on one end, or earth notes - OR/WA on the other),
many of the CA Syrahs and of course Zins.

This year we're doing a smoked turkey breast and I'm thinking of a Cote Rotie
or Hermitage - though maybe I should stick to a US wine for a US only holiday.
I'll keep and post TN's with whatever, especially if it works.
