Just opened #41 fresh off of the UPS truck! My plan is to slow ox it for the day and consume during/after dinner. I poured a few ounces out just to see how it is. It's very modern styled, large scaled, oak/vanilla/ripe fruit. I'll wait to add more notes until this evening, but in short--this is exa...

Never had one -do I dare?

Agree with EMH and William and Mary. would also add Beta.

Are they wineries? Or wines ?

Can't get the search to work for this .

Were there guesses/answers to the winery/vineyard for 41?
And what's the assessment of the wine?

TIA
Roberts & Rogers Louer Family.

Thanks .

Curious if anyone knows of high quality wineries in the Napa area (including all the AVAs). Interested in cab based wines. I tried searching for this already and only came up with the post for Oregon. Thanks! What's your definition of a winery? Do you need a place to visit/taste/buy and where they ...

We went conventional.

Made cornbread, mashed potatoes, cranberry/pineapple/strawberry sauce/relish, and stuffing. Going to make roasted veggies.

Half-turkey (fresh/organic) just went in :

Interesting story. Wonder how they can legally sell it (guess through 3rd party?

I'd buy one of each as you want to find a Pradikat(s) you move forward with....Kab, Spat, or Aus.

I prefer them in that order, some people love Auslese, great way to find out for $110.

They will all be delicious young.

Thanks, yes I plan on buying 1 of each.

I think many (myself included) would say that the Bernkastler Badtstube is probably their least impressive single vineyard. That said, Prüm is Prüm and it's pretty great, too. As far as which one, I think it depends on how long you want to hold them. If you are looking for shorter term drinking (me...

I don't do tasting notes (just don't know how to taste wine) but hope this does the trick for the donation.
You do have an eye for granite though. LOL

Thanks. It's my friends house and his wine. Guess I'm a leech. But it's for a good cause.

It was good. No signs of over maturity at all. Sweet, but not sappy. It was what it should be. Typical Kosta Browne .

No 2020 Realm ???

I had to pay $200 for my last threesome, and I got a rash .

What the heck is GTS?
https://seavervineyards.com/wine

Thank you! I assume GTS is really good? Seems limited?

I like it; it's the most expensive wine I buy/bought . It's around $150 with pricey shipping. If it wasn't Tom Seaver's wine I wouldn't buy it .

Seaver GTS Cabernet Sauvignon

Stumbled upon it while perusing a grocery store shelf . Yummy .

Too many places growing Honeycrisp in climates/areas where they don't belong just to get on the bandwagon.

I recently had some SugarBee (derived from Honeycrisp) and they are great!!

Great guy!!

Stemmler Pinot Noir up there for $19.99 is a good buy.

I'm definitely not knocking the wine at all, especially as I've loved every Mike Smith wine I've had, but what makes someone buy an unreviewed bottle of Perchance GIII for $215 when you can buy two GIII offerings from Myriad for significantly less? Is it just curiosity? What am I missing? If money ...

There are probably 8 reasons why.

If I may offer a perspective from someone far further from having to consider these questions (I’m 32). My grandfather loved Red Bordeaux and my grandmother loved Sauternes. Their drinking decreased substantially in their 80s, but they saw that I (in my earliest 20s) was starting to develop a real,...

Having a professional knife sharpener work on your knives makes a world of difference .

A $15, 28-year-old Napa merlot yielded a cork with barely any saturation.

I was hoping for dirt under the fingernails, long fingernails, and/or hairy knuckles, but no such luck. Utterly disappointing.

I mean pure!! Lol

First snow of Fall today. Unusually early for us along coastal southern New England. Had to scramble to get my sprayer winterized in the snow before tonights temps go below freezing. The winery that we make our wine at is having an outdoor tent wedding tonight. While doing punchdowns late today I s...

My one last bottle of Seaver GTS Cabernet Sauvignon . It's a 2012 (I hope to buy again this January) and in 5 years the Mets will win the World Series !!

Having said that, they claim that they were now backing off a bit, much as others in Napa have been doing.

Not doubting you , but based on what ?

I'm a long term buyer too but I feel like a bit more money I can get much better wine . Becklyn NV Cab jumps out as one example . Anyone else feel the same ??

I think you should make a road trip and see how they respond in person. Could be interesting material for WB.

What's ATP?

Suggestions on where to pick up a couple of 1971's? It's my wife's birth year. Need to go low acid due to ulcer (probably from living with me).

What a tease

Any possibility of the vintage/variety/price? Just trying to get a feel for the market.

I know there are various strong views on reviews and scores, but I think that’s the difference between a year (2017) with 92/93/96 (AG/LPB/JD) and one (2018) with 98/96/98.

Glad I got me some 18, baby !!!

Thanks for posting!!!

I need a small fresh bird for three of us for thanksgiving. From where should I order it?

Do you have a local good butcher shop ? I would talk to them over the next few weeks .

Those both look amazing !! If they taste half as good as they look that would be fine with me !!

These should be shipping this fall, correct?

I enjoy a good skirt steak too. But $30/lb is off the charts. The expensive food store by me has it for $18/lb and Whole Foods has it for $13/lb. I can get domestic wagyu skirt here for $11 a pound. $30 is unbelievably expensive. I pay about $13-14/lb for regular (non-wagyu) skirt steak around here...

Anyone have a great skirt steak marinade?

Chopped Garlic
1/2 part orange juice
2 parts Peter Luger steak sauce
2 parts Soy Vay Island Teriyaki

Give it 12 hours min .

Most underrated is the Chuck.
Pot Roast, yum!
+1

But skirt steak is the best cut.

so quick to cook, so much flavor

Love skirt steak . Local butcher shop is expensive ($29.95 a pound) but it's always a hit with family and guests.

And I hate ribeye. That fat is so gross.

How about the August smoke issues? Is it a total tally between the glass fire and the august smoke?

Just curious,

Maybe my title was misleading.

No. most was picked according to my eye.

Glad you are ok, but I don't understand what you mean by no .

Is that answer to my question. ? Or your opinion of the article ?
