2011 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah Griffin's Lair - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (10/19/2019) PnP and drank out of blue solo cup at a tailgate. This has added a good deal of depth since the last time I had it in 2015. Dark black and red fruit with some meaty characteristics. My guess is th...

Bedrock shipments seem to always be worst than others.

Gotta go to Reading Market for the experience.
Right around the corner from your hotel. Roast Pork at Dinic’s and Bassets ice cream
These places are inside Reading Terminal Market?

Yes

10 Papa’s All Blacks is so delicious. I’m hiding my last two bottles.
Nice Glenn!! So you feel like these could age for a long time? Sons birth year and have been hoping theyll go the distance.
Next one I uncork will be his 18th I think.

As in 2028?

We use the one that Schramsberg sells and it works well.

Night 3 for a 2011 Saitone Zinfandel. Wow. This has evolved into one of my favorite Bedrock’s ever! What a seamless integration of fruit and savory layers. So bummed it is my last bottle.

2012 North Coast Syrah. What a wonderful wine. What a wonderful QPR.

2013 Belle De Jour. Not very exciting and seems super young still. Cant recall, does this have a decent amount of PS in it?? Label says Zinfandel but I swear I'm getting a heavy note of PS. Either way, I'll be holding the rest of my bottles for a while. 13s in general are taking a long time to full...

When I was traveling for work I’d always bring a binder clip to clip together curtains that left a sliver of light through.

That's a great tip. I always have a binder clip in my toiletries bag to cover my razor so that I don't slice my hand reaching into the bag.

I even have one ‘08 left.

Your card must have a 3% fx fee. Visa, MC, and Amex all use an fx rate calculated the night before that is fixed for the whole day, they use (nearly) the same rate in either direction - ie they don't charge you a spread. The issuing bank may or may not charge a 3% few. Not this also means if you ha...

She did the “Super Premium Vintage Port Tasting” at Graham’s. It included the 1983, 2000 and 2016 Graham’s. I know they threw in a 2004 Warres. Not sure if anything else.

My daughter really liked her tasting at Graham’s.

Chester County is started to see increase levels. We have had only a few (knock on wood) but friends 4 miles away have many more than last year. Went bird watching up in Berks County earlier in the week. Not many on the trees at ground level but when you were focused on the tops of the trees with bi...

Had a beautiful 2003 Lagier Meredith Syrah last night.

I have had real mixed results with my Coravin. I like the fact that the aroma stays strong with the Repour but I don’t let a bottle go more than 2 or 3 days.

Just got wishlist confirmation, for my extra James Berry and 2x Bedrock Mourvèdre
That means there is hope.

Haven’t seen the email yet but got the credit card charge. Yeah.

Buying freeze means 18 bottles for me. Plus a mag.

I love, understand and identify with your definition of a buying freeze.

I haven't received my offer yet since I have not previously purchased from the winery directly. My only experience with Bedrock was through the 2015 OVZ which Wine Spectator built up with their 93 point rating and ranking as #12 on their top 100 wines of the year in 2017.

Perfect timing. Looking forward to your thoughts on what you taste.

We spent a day in Pompeii last month. Very interesting day. Hoping to get over to see our daughter in Oxford before this exhibit is over.

No emails but constant ads in my Instagram feed.

Sipsmith with grapefruit is great as well.

On deck... 2011 Stone the Crows cab.

Will be interested in hearing how this is.

That is great news. We have not seen any on our property

this year and only isolated sightings close by.

We had a very nice meal at CRU Cafe
The orange sherbet cake is my auntie's recipe. She made all their desserts for years.

Now I may need to go back to try that!

2011 Dolinsek tonight. Wonderful wine that is still going strong.

Usually August

I had catheter ablation for the same thing, but I'd hesitate before offering you much advice. SVTs are like Parkinson's symptoms -- they can mean different things for different people. However I can tell you this, which no one else told me -- my symptoms are closely correlated with dehydration. I h...

Excuse this Burg "snob" for intruding: neener Zinfandel, Belle du Jour Vineyard, 2013 I had a very good Zin last night that appealed to my dirt-and-twigs instincts -- the 2013 Bedrock Belle du Jour. Very red-fruited, not the brambly blackberry flavors I've had in other Bedrocks. Tannins have soften...

I remember Morgan’s release notes saying this would be controversial. I only have one so I guess I should open it soon.

Last week they sent me an old tracking number as well.

Now they just updated all of the 2009s on the drinkability chart.

Andiario in West Chester, PA allows corkage at $10 per bottle.
Thanks - I was going to ask if I could ever get a reservation.

Tough short term reservation even on a weeknight but well worth the wait.

2016 Anderson Valley is on Wine Access today. Supposedly sold out to mailing list instantly but somehow there is still 40 cases for Wine Access.

For those that have 2008s left, Carlisle just updated their website drinkability chart for all 2008s.

i believe they are owned by Cameron Hobel of Hobel Wines.

Now I know how I got on the email list.

Would be helpful to know if you had a specific location or budget vs luxury. That said, we have enjoyed staying at the Hoxton Holborn in Covent Garden area.

2011 Bedrock Bedrock Heritage Unlike the exuberant, heady 2011 Monte Rosso from last week, the 2011 Bedrock Heritage is still tightly wound up and took a month of Sundays to start opening (well, more like 90-12 minutes...but you get the point) - would highly recommend a decant if considering openin...

2012 Montafi - This bottle is singing! Classic zin on the nose and on the palate. Sniff and sip, sniff and sip... I could do this all day long with this wine. Really nice. Cheers!

Wow. This is wonderful.

I have enjoyed the 2010 more than the 2011 but I have a one more 2011 left so that may change. I drank my last 2010 in December and thought it was in a really good place. It was the best showing of the ones I had and didn’t seem it was on a downward slope by any means.

2014 Bedrock Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard. Great wine ready on PnP. That's the 2nd strong review I've seen on this wine recently. Going to have to open one soon. Thanks for posting! I would imagine the first one was Tom Lee’s. That is why I opened it. Tom said drink in the next 2-3 years. I think it...
