I'm a sucker for a pretty label and this one isn't just pretty, it's a work of art, the Salvador Dali painting, "The Ghost of
Vermeer of Delft Which Can Be Used as a Table." The wine is the 2002 Vintage Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Gundlach Bundschu Winery in Sonoma. It is the 22nd vintage of this limited estate bottling of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, each with a unique label. This wine is part of the Millennium Series of labels celebrates the historic role of wine in culture by featuring a work of art from each millennium of human history. The series began with the 1997 vintage, which celebrated wine's discovery. The 2002 label, named "Inspiration," represents the second millennium AD. Permission to use the image was granted to Gundlach Bundschu by The Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. The wine has black plum and black currant flavors. There are just 138 cases of the wine available. The winery is selling six bottles in a signature wooden box for $450.
