Topic: Bryant Family

During the dinner at Larry Ellison's, Dvorak selected wines for a small group of 22 guests, including a horizontal tasting of 2002 California vintages like Colgin and Bryant Family. He criticizes these high-end bottles, which retail for $500 to $600, for having excessive alcohol content reaching 15.7%. Dvorak argues that a $20 bottle of Bordeaux he consumed later was superior, as the expensive California wines smelled primarily of ethanol.
