The '81 was off and may be bottle variation.  Drinkable, just out of line with the others
The '84 and the '89 showed surprisingly well!
The '85 and '86 provided the reasons why you should bring your own stemware.
The '86 and '87 Beringer Chabot Vyd. just blew everything away.

Attendees:  Brad, Dave L., Dave W., Linden, Terry, Tim, Dan, Debby(!),  A. David 

My tasting rating (0-10):  8

Some excellent juice!  But for the food this would have been a 9.
