Thanks. I got my hands on a couple of 66s the other day with levels around the top half of the embossed brand. Don't have much experience with ullage in this bottle shape so that's reassuring to hear!

Best in class. As a fan of Founder's Breakfast Stout, this beer checks all the boxes and is the new king of the category. If only I could have this for breakfast everyday....
Whatever you've heard about this beer, it's better than that.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 10 years ago

Birthday wine. After 25 yrs this pretty Cab is holding up very well. Clean w dark fruits, mint and some spice. Cork did crumble but was able to salvage. @SilverOak memorable wine. — 11 years ago

Perfect after extracting the crumbly cork. Perfect balance at peak I only have two more bottles of this. — 13 years ago
