Re: Bedrock Wine Co. Spring 2021 Release save The Date 2/16 & 2/24
Having just become familiar with this winery approx a year ago thanks to this site, I'm already up to 5 cases. The recent podcast didn't help as I ordered every cuvee offered! The only exception was the LL Zin, but i wish listed a bottle and thus far I've been offered my wish list items.

Re: Bedrock Wine Co. Spring 2021 Release save The Date 2/16 & 2/24
I feel like I showed a lot of restraint, but I ordered 2 bottles of everything except the 2 Cabs, which I ordered 3 each. This is quickly becoming my favorite winery.

Re: Bedrock Wine Co. Spring 2021 Release save The Date 2/24
Thanks to this site, I've become a huge Bedrock fan and will probably order a minimum of a bottle of each cuvee and I'm guessing a total of 2 cases or so total. Monte Rosso Cab? Oh yeah, I'm way in!!!

Re: Rivers-Marie ‘19 Pinot Release
I'm a HUGE RM fan...am taking the full allocation plus, thanks to Beserkers, also picking up 9 extra SC, 6 OV Summa, and hopefully a few Platt. Not to mention 9 older OV Summas from a very generous berserker.

Re: TN: 2018 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard
In a brief chat with Will Segui, he mentioned that it was both his and TRB's opinion that the gap between the "old vine" and regular bottling of Summa is getting closer and closer. This is exciting news to me since I find the OV Summa one of my 5 favorite domestic pinots.

Most of my faves have been mentioned with the exception of Kutch. Though his '18 Trout Gulch is a bit tight now, I think it will develop into a quasi-legend in 3-5 years, similar to his '14 SCM which is my favorite domestic I've ever had.
