Had a private tasting with JGregory (Mark Jessup, who was the original wine maker for Opus 1)... The tasting was amazing, the experience was amazing... Bought several bottles for $68/each
Got them home - had some later, tasted nothing like what we had in the tasting room... weren't as impressed.
Same thing with Raymond, but Caymus is always consistent.
But if you like to drink wine - it doesn't make sense to drink a 30/60/90 dollar bottle of wine a week. You need to find a bottle that is something you like and is also affordable. Save the Special Selection for a special occasion.
