Falltacular 2019...a thank you in advance/thread for TNs and comments

I’d like to use this thread as a placeholder for tomorrow’s event. For those attending or for those who can’t make it or simply wanted to see some comments, TNs and other sharing of info, let’s use this thread. To get us started…

I want to share with everyone the wineries who donated to make 2019 Falltacular possible this weekend. Some of these wineries are new to the event, others have been with us for more than a decade as donating supporters. I share this list because I want you to see the names of wineries who give back, donating their craft to ultimately help us raise money to protect women and children from domestic violence, providing emergency shelter, counseling, housing and transitional services so they can change their lives. In some instance, even save them from begin killed in the relationship they are fleeing. To learn more about the charity, Laura’s House, please click here. https://www.laurashouse.org/

I ask that you consider these wineries among a list of those who give back, and who are doing something to help within the Falltacular community. If you are spending $$ with them already, know that they are helping do good.

Here is the list of the wineries and the wines being poured tomorrow in Falltacular.

And don’t forget the food, my friend . . . .

Couldn’t sleep and made two batches of cookies to bring down for the event tomorrow - salted dark chocolate chip and oatmeal and peppermint dark chocolate chip. Can’t wait to take part once again - it’s truly and privilege and honor to do so, and it’s quite a moving day, realizing why we are all there.

It’s all one of my favorite days of the year because this is kind of the ‘ultimate’ offline for many in the WB community - instead of ‘talking’ online, we are instead face to face, sharing stories and laughter, discussing wines and family, shaking hands and hugging. A truly epic day!

Kudos in advance to Frank and Jill for hosting once again, and for Margaret and her staff for being omnipresent and sharing their stories . . .

Cheers.

This is such an awesome event put on by Frank & this community. I have not attended, ever, but maybe someday I’ll try to make it on the guest list.

Looking forward to following this thread and living vicariously through the TNs and comments.

Now boarding at Gate 2, destination Falltacular!

Wow. That’s a heck of a list!

David, we are blessed and fortunate to have so many people bought into this event. The generosity from so many corners of the wine community is truly amazing. I have reached a point where both the inside of the house (wine is placed in several rooms up and down stairs) as well as the space in my garage for the auction, cannot handle any more items. So many people have embraced this event, which is why we can do this now year after year.

Huge thanks to Frank and Jill Murray and all the amazing wine makers and supporters who make Falltacular such a magical day for Laura’s House. It is one of the most enjoyable events of the year- spending it with big hearted and generous people, drinking fabulous wines and raising awareness and money for families affected by domestic violence. You are making a very positive impact and have become some of our strongest advocates in the community. I am proud to know many of you and call you friends and look forward to meeting the new people tomorrow! CHEERS😍

I may need to take out a home equity loan for all the auction items I’m going to want to buy. And use part of it to buy a new storage cabinet for the bottles.

See you all there. I’ve got meat marinating, a box full of bottles to bring, trying to get hydrated in advance . . .

Margaret, we’re all in this with you. Thank you for your leadership of Laura’s House and letting us partner with you again another year.

Counselor, the garage is really loaded this year. We have about the same amount of lots as last year (125), but about 70 more items. So, you and those attending will see very quickly that the single bottle lots are now replaced this year with lots that have 2, 4, even 6 bottles. This will mean you get more wine for your winning bid, although it may cost you a little more to play because of the larger lots. My reality is that I simply cannot make the garage work unless I kept the total lot count the same, and allowed each lot to grow larger. There will be a large # of single lot magnums being auctioned, more than we have ever enjoyed. I want people to remember that this strategy ultimately benefits Laura’s House.

Today is your lucky day my friend. I have beautiful wood vinotemp cabinet w/redwood racking for 550 bottles in my garage. It’s all yours!!! Here it is Sold - Vinotheque 550 btl Cooler - $500 in OC - Commerce Corner - Wine Classifieds - WineBerserkers

I’ve been trying to get FMIII to take it so I can use his house as offsite storage. [cheers.gif]

I just printed up all the badges for tomorrow so everyone will remember their own name after 5pm neener

I’ve already secured proper authorization from the warden to get after a few of the auction items, something is going home with me this year just not sure what…

Yum! This was gorgeous!

For being so young and for the fact that the winemaker came from SQN I was expecting something completely different. This was awesome, well balanced, great perfume, nice restraint. Double decanted 4 hrs in advance.

Have fun everyone. Looks like the rain is gone, right? It’s a great event that everyone who hasn’t, should make a point of getting to one year. The silent auction booty is copious this year. Looks like Arnie and Lisa really stepped up.

I’m going to enlist my friends that are regulars to make sure I don’t snooze and lose next year.

Great seeing the gang last night.

A few mental notes…I tried to avoid the super higher alcohol (aka: rocket fuel) wines as much as I could. As a result, was in good shape for the after party, thanks to the Bohr’s for hosting again. Impressive streak going!

2002 Calera Selleck Pinot Noir
Rarely find CA Pinot that impresses, but this surely did for its clean, cool fresh fruit. Very subtle in its pinosity, there are no cola notes here, rather it leads with its clear, bright acidic freshness, with the impression it will continue to age and evolve beautifully for many years to come. What an outlier! Kind of reminds me of old Sanford Pinot’s that were built to last decades. Thanks to Chris for pointing me here.

2014 Once & Future Zinfandel Bedrock Vineyard
This was a treat to taste after listening to Joel’s interview with Levi Dalton. It’s just a well built Zin, with a real nice undercurrent of acidic freshness, showing that mix of good, flavorful fresh fruit with natural edges and lines, and devoid of any overrripe character. We sampled quite a few wines over dinner, but we kept coming back to this as our preferred dinner wine.

2010 Catherine & Pierre Breton Bourgueil Perrieres
Brought this and it was also one of the better wines with food, kind of a bistro wine, lighter bodied than the Zin above, but still good medium. Fresh and rather light impact, expected a little more boldness from the fruit on this, but still made for a nice drink. Thought it best upon opening and through the first hour or so. Recall having the 12’ a year or two back and preferred where that was in its development.

2001 Vieux Telegraph (From Magnum)
Showing quite a bit more balance than the rocket fueled reds, this was really singing, in that sweet spot that no other wine seemed to be in. Drink now, especially if you have 750’s.

2012 Fekete Pince Juhfark (White)
Was in the mood to promote Hungary, and this wine always does a good job, even got to meet Brandon and Sandy, who is Hungarian. Shows succulent white peach and lychee flavors, with good freshness, and mellow, Complex spices. I tried to keep this cool, but I think it was warmer than ideal most of the night.

1995 Rancia Riserva
After Brian T extracted the cork beautifully, we found it was corked, brutal!

Lots of other good wines tasted, and appreciated all the pours and sharing.

Here are some of the fun inanimates from the after party.
