What will you be enjoying tomorrow in celebration of Zinfandel Day? My wife and I will most likely open something from Biale, maybe a 2012 Aldo’s or Monte Rosso.
Papera is the wine that turned me into a Carlisle convert. Are you sure your delivery is tomorrow? I’m in NorCal and didn’t receive notice so just logged in and still see:
“Requested Ship Ground - November 17, 2015”. “Tracking numbers will appear below, when available”.
Now there’s a name from the dim/distant past. Haven’t seen nor tried her wines for many a year.
How are Susie’s wines these days, Evan??
Haven’t heard of EricRussell’s wines in many a moon, either.

Round 1 (the first offering from the 2013 vintage) shipped to Los Angeles in March. The UPS tracking e-mail for Round 2 was sent a day late and the body of the e-mail shows delivery tomorrow. I panicked but then clicked on the tracking link and it shows delivery today, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
I am going to a meeting of the Securities Committee of the Bar Association tonight and they always have crappy wine, so I think I will bring a 2013 Carlisle RRV Old Vines, which I happen to have in my office.
Because I have no patience, I opened a '13 OV earlier this week. (I was in the first shipping group) It’s still a little soon to tell, but early indications are that this is as good (or --gulp-- maybe better) than Bedrock’s '13 OV, which was my previous QPR winner in CA zindandel. I wish I’d gone much deeper on it. It’s surprisingly approachable for its age, and I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
