I put in WL for both but it’s the Cab I truly desire.

10 Papa’s All Blacks is so delicious. I’m hiding my last two bottles.
Nice Glenn!! So you feel like these could age for a long time? Sons birth year and have been hoping theyll go the distance.

Next one I uncork will be his 18th I think.

What's new in hotel world Matt? We are tiring of the MW.

It moved a little when I saw this list.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/09/wine-harvest-dates-earlier-climate-change/ Interesting they have records that old. 1540 was an Alfert year. Rolland killed it The best years of the first millennium are celebrated in the lyrics of the famous Chanson de Rolland. Well done sir. Obscu...

I had a case years ago stacked with their 91-94 vintages, all were just such classic old Napa wines.

Thx for reminding me about Dana.

These were great old-school, Napa Cabernet-based wines and they closed shop long ago. This came up with a buddy over the past weekend and I’ve forgotten where these grapes are turned into wine currently.

TIA.

2009 Falstaff just fantastic domestic PN tonight, Explosive dark cherry tartness and decent length, nose a mix of earthen clay and sweet Spring air. Just a bravo effort at age twelve.

Oakville Farmhouse is a quintessential American field blend. If she likes Syrah then Cayuse hits an American high point.

Sweet night my friend. Well done.

Thanks Nate, picked up two cases of mixed wines including six of those Le Cigare Volante Réserve "en bonbonne". I look fwd to those, maybe a Thanksgiving Day bottle.

Look for e-mail, the timing of the offer will be changing.

I'm also excited for this and hope I can reload a mixed case or two. The SC Zin may be affordable, I assume Old Hill could be prohibitive. GLENN LEVINE IS A DAMN LEGEND. I remember the heady days of Pensacola Beach livin' in the early 90s and getting introduced to Ravenswood SV bottles by Chan Cox,...

I can’t find a number or information email on my own. I reached out for the phone # though.

Anyone trying the Grenache wines?

07 Pictures is just fantastic now.

Lovely's 50/50 is really good in PDX but kinda chichi for me sometimes. Red Sauce is moving which breaks up the best west coast pizza block as they will no longer be neighbors with Pizza Jerk.

The amazing crew at Bedrock, after reading Sol absconded with my hat, just shipped me another one. Gratis!

I'm back to being the oldest Oregonian in a trucker-styled hat. Thank you Emily!

I fell off the list, Michael has a bad email address for me and I can't log in.

Armada is the Cayuse Syrah that most frequently resembles Hudson Vineyard Syrah wines in terms of taste and attack.

Doug, come up and we can taste a few vintages. Blind if you like too.

Well done sir.

Had the 11 MB from 375 last night. Poured into three Zalto Universals for 2.5 hours to savor after dinner as Autumn had arrived. Ready to go, fully enjoyable if you can handle the chewy tannins.

One of my favorite No-PV vintages.

I’m still waiting to have that epic glass of 75 LLC that people told me would assuredly be pouring from bottles when I was blasé about the wine back in 1995.

Reviving after a decade, cuz we miss all y’all. Miss Greg too, always.

John Lockwood has made some wonderful wines from this vineyard for Enfield.

Who and where are both interesting questions.

Mark - we all liked the wine though two of us felt it was in a mildly awkward, adolescent phase. I thought it was a touch reticent despite 3 hours in a decanter.

Nothing remotely stewed.

Dude, I got a great LB story for you. Right up your alley.

Charles was bright enough 7-8 years ago to cast admiring eyes towards my wife but not allow his vocal cords to engage.

I'll decant a 12 Cailloux at lunch today to go with dinner. Love having not to fret about wine and after a great 96 Baron last night it's good to go in another direction.

Y'all started harvest already! We had a hoot staying out in Sonoma.

Order in. My daughter gets the '16s and my son will get the '18s.

Well done sir.

Had the 88 Devils Hill PS with Backroads Bob Summers in our house last weekend. Wine showed magnificently and was youthful with easily appreciated tannins.

Delicious, among the best bottles this year.

I spent a few days in Sonoma Co. over Labor Day, huddling up with my oldest childhood friend and his family. Dorian stranded his girls while they were in California for a wedding so it was a big get together and we made the most of it. Our last afternoon was spent enjoying Bedrock’s fantastic hospit...

Had the Piranha Waterdance twice in the past couple of weeks and that wine is wonderful. Young yes, but fantastic. I don’t even remember the vintage. I think it is 2014.

Yep, been easy to drink and super enjoyable since release.

Can't wait for my three pack, a wine I'll buy while I'm above the dirt. We opened a 12 last weekend with great friends in Sonoma, I thought it showed gloriously. I am forever grateful that my place on their list was solidified by dropping your name, hope all is well ... [cheers.gif] These bottles l...

O M G 2012 Kirschenmann Zin is just an achievement. Nice! I need to get my hands on one of those. The 2012 Bedrock version was probably my favorite of the vintage so far - would love to see what Mike O did with the grapes that year. Crazy elegant, feminine, crescendo attack. Honestly one of the ver...

Greg, we all did think it browned-up a bit and lost aroma at about 75 minutes.

Yeah, this was laced with anise too. Good call there Warren.

No occasion, little forethought, Tuesday night. Wife pulled some Flannery hangers and I’d set this upright more than a month ago on a high shelf in passive storage. Cork a bitch, out in two pieces but wine side had held a real seal. Nice initial nose and amazing color for near fifty. Just a really d...

Wanted a flavorful, young bottle to go with a spicy cauliflower soup and some sprouted bread last night. Pulled the 13 Dupratt and gave it two hours in decanter.

Wait 5 more years or plan a way longer decanting. Best glass was by far the last.

I never put up a note on the 11 Bedrock Heritage we uncorked this week. Was this the first vintage where Heirloom was no longer an available label-name for BR? No decant, just a 1/2 hour uncorked before we poured it. Great mouthfeel and good length, this was enjoyable while a bit angular. I'd either...

Where you hiding the Mags?
The only 1.5Ls this year are for 2018 Cuvée Hervé (coming out before the holidays). We had so many lots to bottle this year that we would have needed an additional bottling day to tackle the 1.5Ls.

These should all be in mags

Hear, hear!

Where you hiding the Mags?

I usually buy 6-12 PB Chardonnay but may mix in a few Hellenthal Old Shop.

I have a ton of their Chards and just love them.

Love the wines but prices exceeded wallet quickly. I can’t imagine there are many O-town days where Ovid fits the weather. Ski trip wines?

Austin is a terrific guy.
