Ryan Curry just came back from Napa and tasted them, he spoke very very highly of Mike’s wines. I believe Mike is open for tastings in Napa. Maybe give it a taste when you come in August before purchasing? I might try to schedule a lil something something.

Sort of what I was thinking on Sat. Charlie.

CFu · July 22, 2009, 5:28pm

that’s what i was thinking too! O_O Let us coordinate over pm

Don’t do it on Sat Javelina Jack…make an appt on Friday and I’ll join.

Is this a virtual tasting, or are you talking about Berserkerfest?

Jack_Bulkin · July 22, 2009, 5:33pm

I still haven’t found a flight and don’t know what time I can arrive. If I can get there in time you are on.
Aug 14th Todd, you are welcome to join us.

I placed a call to Mike and asked if he was open for a small group tasting on Friday afternoon. I will post after he returns the call.

I tried them on Saturday. Really well made, very good wines.

Veronica_Castro · July 22, 2009, 6:37pm

Mike and Leah are really kind people. Picked up my Myriad cabs and syrahs from Mike in April when I was last in Napa. They also hooked me up with their Rose which is a blend of cab & syrah. Have not opened the 07 Cabs yet, but did try his 05. Good juice!

Jack_Bulkin · July 22, 2009, 6:43pm

And that from a Burghound.

Bill_Tex_Landreth · July 22, 2009, 6:45pm

Don’t forget that professed love of Champagne.

Jack_Bulkin · July 22, 2009, 6:51pm

Is anyone bring Champers to the Fest? I didn’t see any on the list. They don’t travel well.

Bill_Tex_Landreth · July 22, 2009, 6:59pm

Somebody mentioned it I thought.

I have a local hookup in San Anselmo that floats me good deals on stuff and I can source a mag or two.

Samantha.Sheehan · July 22, 2009, 7:04pm

I know, I am scaring myself I told Will Segui I’d bring some champagne to the party at Carrie’s on Saturday. There is a shop called JV’s 2 blocks from Carrie’s with Pierre Peters, Agrapart, Camille Saves, Egly-Ouriet, Krug…etc. They have a great selection but prices are just a little higher

ToddFrench · July 22, 2009, 7:57pm

I’m doing the tasting tour on Friday…bunch of stuff, but I hate to miss this, too. Wonder how I could make them both work.

Jack_Bulkin · July 22, 2009, 8:02pm

I just spoke with Mike. He and his family will be in Boston and New York until Saturday. He has a tasting already scheduled in St Helena on Sunday Morning so any willing BSer’s with some blood left in their alcohol streams are invited. I am in.

CFu · July 22, 2009, 8:34pm

count me in Jack, when is it?

ToddFrench · July 22, 2009, 8:37pm

It’s when we are doing all those winery tastings you scheduled, ace.

Bud_Carey · July 22, 2009, 8:40pm

FYI - according to the website, both cabs are sold out.

Otto_Dobre · July 22, 2009, 8:41pm

Jack, please post the date and time. If I find a good deal on a flight, I’ll try to make it to the tasting. I only bought 2 bottles so far of the $65 Cab, if it fits my palate, would buy more. The 06 Myriad was wonderful, I compared it to the 01 Paloma Merlot.
