I have to say (first time posting on this thread) that a very delicious sounding review just landed for the 2017 Biggio Hamina Rose Pinot Noir Ella Claygate Vineyard! Sounds positively tasty: "Deep bright-hued orange. Potent red berry, blood orange, rose pastille and exotic spice qualities on the d...

Can you post a picture of both, Chris?
Can we put them in the standard home dishwasher? Thanks.

Wow. This is a crazy wine, and wildly different than any rose that I’ve ever had before (in a good way). In fact, if I tasted this blind and blindfolded so that I couldn’t see the color, I don’t know what I’d be guessing, but probably not rose. Speaking of color, this has to be one of the prettie...

Check out from about 2:45 on, but watch til the end - I think he would get a kick out of it...

Bring a couple of 750’s as “gifts” for the TSA staff...

After a hot and sweaty bike ride, downed a couple of Bell’s Oberon ales. Shower and shave, and onto the 2018 Tercero rose. With a dinner of grilled lamb chops, corn on the cob (first of the summer) and some wild rice, opened a bottle of 2017 Vincent Bjornson Vineyard Gamay Noir , which was a nice ma...

SOS - "$hit On a Shingle

It's been a while since I've posted a note. 2015 Briceland Vineyards Zinfandel Dark Horse Vineyard - USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino County (6/19/2019) Such a unique wine. Flavors typical of a Zinfandel, with bramble fruit, shading more red than purple but then there’s white floral and spic...

Hi Dave, just the oil, I just left you a message on your phone.

Got your message - thanks, and no worries.

Dave McIsaac

Is that schedule for the wine too? Or just the EVOO?

Dave McIsaac

Any Moon Mountain offerings??

Dave McIsaac

As part of my BD10 extravaganza, I bought a case of the 2017 The Princess & The Peasant Carignan, and popped one Saturday night (I bought a half case of the 2016 during BD 9.) Both are excellent. Monday, I was walking through a local grocery store, and was walking past the wine section, when somethi...

The rose is killer too

Dave McIsaac

My Virage vertical (08, 10, 12) arrived last week, and I was able to resist for a bit. The 08 was was fantastic. Thanks again for the BD10 deal. If you haven't had Emily's 2007 red blend, you owe it to yourself to seek it out.... It has become our Christmas Day wine with an espresso-rubbed prime rib

99 on a young WA wine makes his pts rather worthless for me. Serves his purpose so good on him! Not picking on you, but most (all) CA wines are tasted young. So a 99 point young CA cab is worthy, but a young WA wine isn't?? Dave, no worries, not feeling picked on, just a personal opinion anyways [c...

I would suggest that you reach out to Bill, and give him an opportunity to make things right.

I received notice today from UPS, with expected delivery tomorrow. I am assuming it's from Paetra because I don't have any other outstanding wine shipments originating in OR. "THE UPS STORE MCMINNVILLE, OR" That is the correct one. Mine is scheduled for Wednesday delivery. Earlier in the shipping s...

1997 Arcadian Pisoni I made the mistake of looking in at winebid... Have you had this wine before, Jay? I bought a bottle direct from the winery years ago, and it was the best bottle I have ever had. On three occasions, yes. One was so-so but the other two were outstanding. They were all winebid pu...

Still a couple more left here in Oklahoma. I don’t think my Turley is shipping until middle of April. Seems a bit late.

Why not contact them and see if they can ship it out sooner?

If you don't ask, the answer is no!

I know this is a 3-year old thread but I just joined wineberserkers. For sentimental reasons I'm looking for a specific Cal Sangio. Shafer grew Sangiovese 1982-2003. I served Shafer Firebreak (Sangio/Cab blend) 1995 vintage in 1998 when I was an Intro Somm to someone who was introduced to me again ...

Don't forget your (Todd's) auction winners.....

Thanks for the stand-up tip - can't wait to try it

Dave McIsaac

My case arrived today. Once my sinus infection clears up, I see one of the zins disappearing pretty quickly!

I'm really anxious to try all of them.

Thanks for a great offer Kurt

Dave McIsaac

Got this on Monday, and if I didn't have a sinus infection, one of these would already be gone.

Dave McIsaac

This arrived today, and man, it is a gorgeous bottle!!

I am going to try and hang onto this until Thanksgiving dinner, but I make no promises!!

Dave McIsaac

Virtual hugs to you and your family Hardy......Geez....My condolences

Got mine on Saturday - can't wait to pop one

I sold off some DRC 10yrs and sort of regret it. I can rationalize selling those because the 3 or 4 btls I sold were acquired under less than ideal storage circumstance locally.

Note to self - don't buy any wines from Craig........
