Well done Chris! I updated the original 2015 post.

Two Myriad wines: 18 McGah & 12 Sugarloaf Mountain Whole Cluster.

Both wines delicious, Syrah’s elegance perhaps created by ripe fruit and WC treatment.

I got you dude. Get up here and we can trade bottles.

You can tell the fruit here must be exquisitely farmed to demonstrate a taste profile like this.

We went 2012 Bedrock too last night, the Kamen Cabernet Sauvignon. Grilled marinated Bavette steaks with broccoli for a nice Saturday dinner. I decanted half the bottle a few hours and left the rest open to air. Wine is very interesting and highlighted by terrific mouthfeel. Both the nose and taste ...

$10.50/btl shipped, I’m down.

I’ve also been unable to stop thinking about this. What has our nation come to?

How horrifically chilling. I don’t know what to think or say that’s of any consequence.

My God.

Great Notion Over Ripe is a delicious can crusher. Lord, I could have had more than one.

I went for the PS. Wife likes the only ones.

The 2010 is already good on the second day.

I met Leonard just once but liked him immediately. We became fast acquaintances on FB and I enjoyed his perspective on politics, film, literature, and gay rights history.

He was a cool guy and I’m glad he got to see the results of our recent election.

Rest peacefully sir.

Just got into our final mini-wheel tonight. Very fine, love the texture, and this was on the herbaceous end of the spectrum.

Even the ten year-old loved RCR.

I’ve got 8-10 bottles sideways in the cold part of the cellar.

I have had but one glass a decade or so ago and it must have been a damaged wine as I found it good, but not shatteringly so.

Goodness, we loved the 2012 so much last night with my wife’s homemade tamales. I’m beyond 95 on this wine, more like WOTY stuff.

Wow Doc...how many bottles of pycm have you downed now?!?

Many, and while I hate wax his white version is the good kind.

Wax sucks two bags of dicks.

Plus a big #1. Most recently, an 08` En Remilly was in a perfect place.

That is a glorious wine.

Ive been thru 2-3 cases of the 1994. Still have a few bottles too.

Love this wine. Hard to find these days.

I love you, in nearly every way possible.

Damn, I love great Pilsner.

Ex Novo Perle Haggard on draught from The Yard in Salem, OR. GD, 10 oz of this hits the spot on a depressing call weekend.

I recall being at a pretty wide-ranging Ridge event ten or so years ago where 92 York Creek Zin and 90 York Creek PS stole the show.

These are really creamy, balanced stouts from Oklahoma. A holiday splurge for sure.

Ceritas

I got some Ridge & Spanish wines, went > $200.

Going for the gusto these next two Sundays.

Absolutely stellar Blake. Have a safe and lovely holiday.

I’ve no idea why I was compelled to uncork this last night, but so glad I did. Maybe it was some subconscious, internal clock.

Apex California PN.

Went back to pourover coffee at home using a Cosuri kettle and JKenJoy Stainless strainer.

Trashing our Bonavita, the factory replacement to our first shitty one, was a joyous day for us.

Wife opened No. 20 while I was away at work, so I’m getting a glass on day 3.

I like it, a bit spicy on the finish for Cabernet. Pinch of Syrah there maybe? Nice deep nose, taste kind of all over the place but not unpleasant. It’s crazy young but I can see this being quite nice in 3-5 years.

Hanzell

I saw this in a bottle store today for $48.50.

1992 Estate Merlot last night was amazing. The cunning depth of fruit and clarity of the attack was stunning. I loved every sip. Cork fantastic and easy to remove.

WOTY kind of bottle.

Now, nearly exactly six years from Ken’s tasting, we unscrewed a 13 LCF Sumu Kaw Syrah which is just full of nervous energy, cured meats, strong whiff of citrus, mild olive, robust pepper, and real tannin balancing out the fruit as it gets ready to turn age eight. No danger of being in decline any t...

Nice duo, love Chinon.

I still have some 1999 Orion hanging around. Any thoughts? Drink! I haven't had the 99 in a long time but the 98 can be outstanding with some bottles and meh with other. Depending on your tolerance to VA. Jason After a really weird week I uncorked this last night with Flannery tri-tip. Bottle had s...

Flannery Tri-Tip, son made the kid of sides I’d never make, 99 Thackrey Orion, on a night where nobody else wanted a glass.

Eff it all.

I had the CBS on draught too last week. I think I liked KBS more but could be mistaken.

Barry - we have gotten some at our local food co-op. Oregon bison, it’s a great cut for Flannery ground beef.

Thank you for the wines. Excited to have some more 16 Bedrock Heritage.

In my current life as nomad surgeon-for-hire I’m definitely hunting beer while wandering. Found some KBS Founders on draught which was truly wonderful. I use Digital Pour to scope lists and proximity. I checked out The Yard Food Park in Salem, OR. Quite the little enterprise here; they have Crowlers...

Sale is dope.

F T S

Sweet. I think I last had one in 2013, when I sort of had a cold. Wife loved it though.

Indeed true!

Buzz, I miss you.

I don’t have a photo but Alesong Rackhouse Reserve, a bourbon barrel select strong ale, is the best beer I’ve enjoyed in 2020.

L’Ecole Semillon very fine indeed.

I’m in for a 6-pack I think.
