I’ll open a 2012 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard

I have shared the link already with about 10 of you. For those reading this message and if you are one of those with the link, just do me one sanity check: click on the link and then ensure that a Zoom event opens that has the date and time of the event. I sent the link to myself, and it worked as ...

I very recently drank the 2008 and 2010 Napa Cabs on different occasions. The 2008 was in great shape, while the 2010 seemed less exciting. Possible the 2010 was poorly matched with Bolognese. Won't be able to join on Tu as we'll be otherwise celebrating, but will consider popping the 2010 Corona! ...

2014 Dolinsek - Deeper than previous bottles. Wonderful.

Last night drank a 13 Limerick Lane Zin with an hour of air everything and I mean everything was perfectly balanced. Reminded me of how much I miss drinking with friends.

Great to hear. I haven’t opened one yet. May need to change that soon.

I’d be interested.

Hey should a heads up that the 2014 Sky Zinfandel is available on Wine.com. I got my order in and was able to use a $50 promo code.

Bummer - not available in PA

FedEx made me sign today. He seemed frustrated that he had to wait for me to put a glove on. But I’d be frustrated if I had to be out delivering wine to people. I just wish all wineries would just hold it but I understand that may not be a viable alternative either.

Thanks Rich. I just took one out of my queue for drinking this year.

Over the last two nights - 2013 Pagani Zinfandel. Wonderful wine.

‘14 Oakville Farmhouse, dayum! Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday!!!

Bedrock made a 16 Sodini but has not made one since. Are these grapes now going into the larger appellation wine? I think Morgan farms the property so he must still have access to the grapes. Thanks, Tom I believe it may be the main component of OVZ. I think this is the case but what was the though...

Great idea.

Had the ‘14 Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard over the last two nights. Absolutely wonderful.

Did you catch the Jet Blue story this morning? Who would want to fly anywhere now.

I missed it. What was the story?

The 13 Nervo is the only Bedrock wine i have not cared for. Zero nose, plenty of acidity, but no fruit and a bitter finish. Hopefully time will help but I'm not holding my breath. A rare miss. I stopped buying the Nervo. Not the end of the world. Morgan makes too many others that are excellent. I l...

I had a ‘14 Nervo over the last two nights. Can’t say it was my favorite. Very rustic. Seemed much older than 5-6 years. Dang, that sucks....I had 2 bottles of the 2014 Nervo back in 2018 and thought they were both amazing. Will need to try one again, pretty sure I have a couple more. I have 3 more...

2016 Old Vine Zin. Drink up!
Drink up as it won’t last much longer?
Drink up as it’s drinking very well now. I will drink all of my 2016 Old Vines over the next year.

Thanks

You mean the ENZ heritage wine with 10% Pfeffer...?
Well, it says Cab Pfeffer on the label, so I'm hoping there's more than that in there!

Release notes say 70% Mataro, 20% Zinfandel and 10% Cab Pfeffer. Not sure why the label says Cab Pfeffer.

Did they make the Oakville in 17? I checked the cellar and have 13,14,15,16 and 18.
Or did I just space out.

They did make it in 2017

2013 Papera Zin - in a great place right now

[snort.gif] Anyone know the alcohol % on the lulu Rose was just curious. Last two years it was 12.3%, I've never seen it higher than 12.6%, so I expect it'll be in that range this year too, if that's any help On the podcast, he references it being higher and while he doesn’t mention a specific perce...

Just when you think it can’t get any harder to control your Bedrock order, Morgan and team step it up another notch.

Some credit cards will reimburse you for the $100 Global Entry fee, once every 5 years. However, all that I have seen reimburse a total of $100 which covers one person in the family.

Each additional cardholder for Amex Platinum gets the $100 credit as well.

Here is another graph from AAWE

My 2 cents. I opened one of these not too long ago and they need time. In fact I have found most Bedrock cabs need time. Thanks. I'm not planning on opening one until at least next year. I waited until day 2 to pass judgement as I felt this wine was weak on the pop n pour. Yes it gained in aromatic...

ah right I see, makes sense for 2+ orders per year

This is the way to go. Just used one of the codes to get one bottle of $21 wine for $1 since the shipping was free

How is wine.com with weather holds? If I pick a date two weeks out for shipment and the weather isn’t appropriate for shipping, will they automatically hold it? I don't think they will change a shipping date automatically in my experience. However, their staff is very responsive via the pop-up chat...

Anyone have tips for how best to clean these, particularly the 1855 given how delicate it seems? Can't seem to find a good position for placing it in the dishwasher and would like to give it a wash before use. I have the same problem with the dishwasher. It just doesn’t seem to fit so I hand wash. ...

Opened a 15' Rossi Ranch last night and had it in the glass 2+ hours before getting to it. Beautiful wine, fairly soft with the tannins mellowed out with that much air.

Was this the Zinfandel or the Grenache?

Finally had one yesterday. Driving down 95, traffic started to back up and we were hungry. Saw a sign for Popeye’s so we got off in Stafford VA. No line. Great sandwich at a great price. Much better than Chik-fil-a. I do not like mayo or pickles so just the chicken breast on a bun. Done perfectly an...

I put it in after the first pour. If you want to put it back in after a second pour, make sure you cover the filter with your thumb during the second pour so it isn’t exposed to oxygen outside the bottle.

Next Thursday, my friend!

Bummer. That won’t work for me. Hope the event is successful.

Too baller for me, but really appreciate the post since I now realize there is a way to search by new (and seemingly order for delivery before bottles are allocated to far flung stores). Larry, saw your rose in state stores last summer I think. Hope they sold well! Lee, Thanks for the note - I beli...

How tall and how big are the bowls on the 1855 and Mineralite compared to the Zalto Universal?

The website linked above has dimensions of each glass.

Broke an 1855 recently. I struggle with putting stems in the dishwasher and the 1855 just doesn’t seem to fit well so I hand wash. It is a little harder to hand wash than the Zalto Universal. That said, it is a much better stem. This thread reminded me of the replacement offer. Thanks Chris for the ...

I think I have one left(out of a case) of the 2013 Bedrock NC Syrah..Has been my experience that most Bedrock reds take a minimum of 5 yrs to strut their stuff..Regrettably, this experience was gained at the cost of drinking all too many Bedrocks too early. I have 75+ bottles prior to 2013 and have...

2013 North Coast Syrah..better on night 2..will most likely reward cellaring but drinking well now We had one of these last night and thought it was great on PnP and much better than the last bottle I had 14 months ago. I agree that this has plenty of life left in it. No idea if it would have been ...

I open my first William & Mary wine - 2014 Cabernet. Great job Will.

Mine took eight days which is why I asked the question.

DOTY: 2016 Bedrock Wine Co. Grenache Gambrels of the Sky - I've been buying Bedrock here and there for years, mostly Zins and standard blends as cellar defenders.
