Caymus wines on Princess

I bet if we asked him nicely, Hawaiidan would tell us some really interesting theories about 9/11, the grassy knoll, and water fluoridation. When he gets back from his tin-foil hat fitting, that is.

Some of our tablemates on RCCL Voyager ordered the Caymus Special Reserve. It was corked. The waiter went to get the head waiter and they tried to tell the man that the wine was fine. He poured a little bit in everyone's glasses at the table and it tasted like a dose of vinegar. The cork was crumbly and dry. Then the Maitre'd showed up. He sent for another bottle. Same thing. Turns out the entire case was bad - improper storage on the ship. Total waste of good wine and $$$.

Want to know what the funniest part of all of this is? In a typical vintage, Dominus is 86%-95% Cabernet Sauvignon, while Petrus is 95% Merlot. So I guess once those cargo ships leave the Port of Oakland, an alchemist on board transforms the crushed juice from one varietal to another before it reaches La Harve. If they could only transform desalinated water into wine (or lead into gold), they'd have it made.
