PSA: Buy 2016 Napa wine

Let me preface by saying I know this post is super douche, but damn 2016 is going to be an amazing vintage for Napa.

The Chappellet Pritchard Hill is perfection (literally, if you care about ratings, as it got a 100 from Parker). Their reserve Cab is a steal at $65 at Binny's in Chicago.

ND grad Paul Hobbs's Cabs are incredible, each and every vineyard.

O'Brien and Larkmead are singing as well.

For a splurge wine (besides the Chappellet Pritchard Hill and Hobbs) anything Peter Michael 2016 is perfect.

Stock up.
