Whitehall Lane: Tournament Central

Date March 10, 2010

Back by popular demand!  It’s March.  It’s March MAGNUM Madness time, as in “Crazy Mad Prices.”  Magnums are great for gifts, age spectacularly and can make any dinner party into an event.

This year eight blockbuster magnums will go head to head in what is being hailed as the Greatest Magnum Madness Tournament of the Decade.  Will the 2006 Leonardini Vineyard Cabernet overwhelm its opponents with its size and power?  Or will the supremely confident 2006 Napa Merlot run roughshod to the Final Four?

Last year it was all about a team of destiny.  The 2005 Rutherford Cabernet won a stunning upset over  the much sought after 2005 Reserve Cabernet.  The 2005 Reserve didn’t make the tournament this year but the 2006 Reserve Cabernet secured a last minute at-large birth.  Could this new comer with its “smooth” delivery take it all?  Stay tuned.

In the meantime you can enjoy the Elite Eight for $740 (shipping included) or pick a couple of your favorites. Get in the game!  And in true March Madness fashion, we’ve created brackets…
