This has been a winner at my house - easy, delicious and freezes easily.

High Museum in Atlanta (scheduled for next week) was just cancelled.

Do they still make it? I haven't seen one of those in the wild in 5-6 years

2 btls + 1 mag - 2017 Clos Des Papes

I just had someone ask me about stems - I sent them straight to Chris/Grassl.

Bartending at a local restaurant. Proprietor is working the floor handling food & wine service. Group falls for a bottle of viognier on the list. Order a second bottle. Order a third bottle. I tell him that the second bottle was the last we had. Walks over to the table, grabs the empty and brings it...

There is something up with the log-in. I’m working with the e-comm folks as we speak. I hope to back online shortly, thank you for your patience. —will

On deck... 2016 William and Mary proprietary blend.

Pull that cork as soon as you can!

Great call on Young Hagen

Looking forward to what I hope to be a great game. More fun when the local team wins, but would be happy for Andy Reid to cash one in.

Stopped at Fieldwork and filled up, so it will be beer and a Carlisle Grenache I cracked last night.

Sending out the reminder now (literally). Everyone that received a Platt allocation will have until Friday to claim it. I'll be filling wishlist requests early next week. Will, is there any way to confirm I wishlisted the Platt? Pretty sure I did upon checkout but don't see it listed anywhere on my...

Thanks for the order Will!

Thanks for the offer! Can never have enough great wine in the house.

not sure why I don't already have one, but problem rectified. Order in!

These wines are a steal at full price, this is a felony

2028 Rivers Marie Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir - As advertised, give this a few hours of air then plow through it. Dark garnet, pine needles this year are from Fir trees as this has the nose of a Christmas tree pushing through the fruit. Really tasty from start to finish.

Did I work on that one?

This is fantastic.

Fieldwork Brewing Co. Pulp IPA. 100% Citra hopped. My favorite sub 7% IPA of the year. Incredibly built, soft, nuanced and complex. The citrus nose and flavor profile is mind boggling considering there is zero fruit additions. The Double Dry Hopped Pulp is the best beer I've had in a long long time...

I have a 1.5l of port. It will never be ready, I’ll never know enough folks to open it.

Will, any chance you can post TRB's notes early so we can plot out purchases?

If permissible, I'll post them when I get them. That said, to the best of my knowledge, they haven't yet been started so we might all see them around the same time Tuesday AM.

Order in. Love these wines.

Has anyone seen a date for Rivers Marie release? I have not! Thanks

For at least as long as I have been here, it is always the third Tuesday in January.

Yeah I think it’s the best deal I posted since the 14 jadot CSJ for 90; that sold out like 10 seconds after I posted it haha

I was quick to that one (thank you!), looks like too slow on the Dom.

Last year I thought the network did pretty well. This year by all accounts seems awful.

1971 Bartolo Mascarello, 1.9L - In a night of great wines, this ruled them all.

Had heard that Grapefruit Sculpin was a shadow of its former self. Can confirm. Sad as this was great

somehow only had a 2016 Papa's Block at home, so I opened it against my better judgement. I had a glass the first night and put it away - was fantastic the next day. I knew better but sometimes I need to touch a hot stove to remember that it's hot.

Great story, I wish him the best. Thanks for sharing

No clue what your bottle looks like, but I use MA Silva for glass & cork. I have found them to be incredibly helpful and competitively priced. https://www.masilva.com/#glassCatalog

Power out here for the third time in two months. This is getting incredibly tiresome

In for 6

It's really hard to make exceptional beer on an industrial scale. First, you need to find and train people that are passionate about beer so that you can produce something consistently. Then you need to figure out how to keep the accountants from f*ck up the beer. Then you need to find a nationwide...

after getting zapped with 27 degrees I figured why bother. Going to be interesting to see how the vineyard reacts next season. Will there be damage?

Casey -- Could you expand on this? Why is 27 degrees at this point a concern and how does it potentially impact next year? Thanks!

No major holdings of any, but I have a few bottles of: Pierre Peters Chetillions, Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee, Cristal, Dom, La Grande Annee, Diebolt-Vallois Fleur de Passion & Delamotte. And a few Krug 164, if that counts. The only thing I'm waiting for is Comtes, sad to see the price on Egly - not goin...

Love me some offsite.

Objectively, 2001 Beaucastel Hommage a Jacque Perrin. The surprise would be 2004 Etude St. Helena (scarecrow). Although I’ve had so many great glasses/bottles with friends new & old, it is impossible to pick one.

It's really good! Very worthy successor to the 2008.

If you were able to pick up 07 or 12 for the same price, which would you choose?

Sunday looks scary, be safe everyone

Anyone else notice the waygu has dropped off the site? The dry aged waygu rib cap was amazing.

I don't remember the exact figures but a friend of mine that worked for PG&E told me their internal calcs had undergrounding every line in CA at 100 years & a trillion dollars.

All three associated wineries have generators. We designed a full time, permanent generator for the new facility. This is the new reality. I even have a small generator at home that *should* power my chest freezer & wine fridge. Buying ice today to get the insulated cooler cold enough to keep milk &...

They are closing two elementary schools & the Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken youth baseball leagues just folded after 50 years of continuous play for lack of players.

2016 Leroy Bourgogne Blanc - $58.99, Santa Rosa

I grabbed the last three, no idea if they have more.

Does anyone know when their tasting room will be up and running? Sadly the answer here is no. We hit some delays late last year that were then compounded by the winter storms pushing the completion date back a few months. We were all hopeful that we were going to make the 8/1 date that was original...
