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.

I liked it more tonight. More uniform and complete today, less tea though.

~ 55-60% left for soontime!

We had a very subtlety corked 1990 or 96 at Girl & The Goat last trip to Chicago. Somme recognized our disappointment but wasn’t sure either. We let it sit 15-20 minutes and between the three of us drank 1/3 or more of the bottle. He eventually took the first bottle away and decanted a second in fro...

Tea & violets, beautiful fruit that’s still sweet and a bit tart, quite refreshing. Lovely domestic PN, I don’t get the sense this is close to the end of its enjoyment window.

Ok, with NYY in command I’m going to uncork one now.

When the Enfield Fall release comes out, do not pass on the '16 Waterhorse Ridge (aka Jesus Vineyard) Cabernet. It is triumphant.

Shit is dope.

I have an 07 chilling still.

Nice..........

Love everything Heretic!

That Three Magnets was crazy smooth.

The Legends.

We have been pounding Revision for 2 years as our local guy was a very early OR supporter of theirs. Disco Ninja was crazy fine.

This is Three Magnets High Road out of Olympia, WA. Sweet mother of God it was fantastic.

That is a nice list. Not sure you will find many of them writing on a wine BB. But to live with hope is a good thing.

Golf clap ensues.

No, business.

Cool. We have to be there in Oct and I'd really enjoy returning to dine there. I'd was thinking about Koi Palace again but maybe I'll opt for Good Mong Kok. Based on what I'm hearing about pricing (a buddy who's deep rich and never mentions money anywhere said he thought it was pricey) Angler would ...

Is State Bird still an online res at midnight thirty days before dining?

There are different 3-Ways this year, three of them! I don’t have the skinny but the one with Idaho hops is reportedly best.

Idaho 7, Citra, Cashmere are the hops this time around and there different batches.

Buying freeze means 18 bottles for me. Plus a mag.

Having a Pelican Kolsch now and loving it in this heat.

I just bought these, I wonder if batch varies too?

I’d help sew the red carpet if we could get Klapp back here.

Ok, we loved this wine but it's a difficult tasting note. I'm not going to bother going the erudite route because why. The nose is grass or hay or wheat maybe? Whiff of oxidation like The Jura? Not much fruit for me, Mel thought some faint citrus. Tastes great already, this wine is a go now with veg...

We had the 15 last night and I'm trying to author a tasting note but failing. Loved the wine though.

Having my first Ft. George 3-Way this season and Andrew, you're wrong. This is delicious.

Travis, sell me some wine man.

2017 Gratias Gratias is a one-off, so we decided to offer it to you at a price that conveys our gratitude for your support. The wine is on us, you pay for shipping. A blend of 42% Grenache, 25% Zinfandel, 18% Mataro, 14% Syrah, 1% Tempranillo. 15.4% alc. Paso Robles, Willow Creek District AVA. 330 ...

I have heard a few rumors about a North Bend to LA flight (no clue what airport but please let it not be LAX) and if that happens we will visit Abe’s new venture for sure.

06 has been great in 375s the past few years.

So a weird little bar in Reedsport, Rust’d Star, is pouring Barley Brown’s on draught. We had the really great Hazerbeam IPA.

It’s 35 minutes away and I might go for another pint later this week.

Rather than whip out my dicktionary I'll just sad that 09 Rhone tn makes me sad. Should have been so good now.

I bet this is a 20-25 year Zin.

12 Pagani with bbq brisket tacos, garden cilantro.

At the beginning of a long, glorious drinking window.

Found Modern Times City of the Sun on draught here locally. Good, certainly not great. More IPL than IPA?

Roosevelt. Buy me a drink one day and we’re good.

Nice cool 4th on Oregon South Coast so we had a 10 Broken Stones with BBQ brisket. Got out for fireworks too.

Nearly erased the taste of an awful Weds at work. American medicine is in the shitter.

Just had the last bottle of a six-pack bought at Rochioli a decade ago. Got these home via MC saddle bags! Wine is excellent and remains fair QPR for me. I may have an 09 or two hanging around but at age 12, this 2007 was beautiful as a pop n pour over two hours in Zalto Burg stems. All anyone could...

The single worst thing about living in Oregon is nobody brings in Herr Muller's Rieslings.

Goodness gracious this was delicious. BA but so well balanced. Have one more.

09 Three Birds very fine last night. Sadly, the steaks I overcooked were not.

I’ll look at your list.

Tried the 12 MB out of 375 last night. Decanted this for an hour in a big Burg stem and then sipped for two.

It’s awkward still. Pieces are all there, great nose, but it needs time even from small format. I’ll check again in 4-5 years.

My local guy has been a supporter from the get-go so he gets a few. He put ‘em on Facebook this AM and I got the last three cans.

Disco Ninja is very, very good indeed.

I remember buying a few off Winebid more than ten years ago when priced a dime on the dollar.

I went to Mikkeller Portland last week on the way to Lake Chelan. Had an electric, salty, nervous, wonderful Pils and a wholly forgettable Imperial IPA.

The pop-up is across the street from Pigeon and has a see-and-be-seen kind of vibe. Food looked great but I just had beer.
