2007 Cadence Tapteil Vineyard…delicious stuff, and showing much more integration than a bottle I enjoyed 5+ years ago. This one has bags of life left!

Happy 4th of July to my many American friends .

Cheers,
Blair

We had a 2012 PharaohMoans Grenache Westside last night that was a little too ripe and jammy for me. A 2011 Arnot-Roberts Syrah was a lot better. Kind of like a new world take on Hermitage.

2014 Bedrock Ode to Lulu
2014 Abrente Albarino

The Bedrock Rose was the big hit with guests, followed closely by the Albarino

3 bottles of Schramsberg and lots of beer.

Madeira is the original America’s wine. The founding fathers toasted the Declaration of Independence with it. Drank the 1912 D’Oliverias Verdelho.

Joined in yesterday with a Sangiovese. The nearest thing to sour grapes I could find

Tons of caramel but still a PN that even with sweet fruit/oak has a savory philosophy. Young still, bet the wine improves over the next decade.

To the OP: Is this anything like “excessibe?”

P_D_e_r_d_e_y_n · July 5, 2015, 11:51pm

Where is everyone getting this Kutch Rose? Was this in one of the offers and I just wasn’t allocated any?

Mark_C · July 6, 2015, 3:09am

Maybe he was seeking penance?

Or, pennants for the Fourth?

David_K_o_l_i_n · July 6, 2015, 4:21am

Double secret offer. If I recall, Jamie made a barrel and posted it on Facebook. I few of us saw the post and insisted.

Showing beautifully now

All three of these wines were singing! - absolutely fantastic.

Love it! On more than one occasion I have tried to explain to my daughter (21) what is so hilarious about “excessibe.” She doesn’t get it, and perhaps I don’t either, but I am grinning here as I type. Excessibe - yep.
