Quivet Cellars

Hey y’all,
Just curious as to what people think of Mike Smith’s Quivet offerings. I’ve never had any of his Quivet wines before and normally I wouldn’t buy a wine blind.

I’ve had the 2013 Carter Cellars wines (that’s when I was first introduced to Mike’s wines). Was phenomenal, bought a bunch right after the tasting. 6 months later, in inquiring about getting a cab tasting for his Myriad label, Mike decides to bump me up to “preferred customer” allocation for his Dr. Crane release even though I’ve never bought a bottle of Myriad before (Fantastic customer service!). I bought a bit more than 1/2 a case blind, just because I liked what he did with To Kalon fruit and I find Dr. Crane more pleasing (generally more elegant and refined vs plush core fruit punch).

TL:DR Got hooked on 2013 Carter. Bought a bunch of Myriad blind. Am I probably gonna spend even more money now?

Yup. Try one of each to check it out.

Have you tried any of the Myriad you bought? Similar style. I love Quivet (and Carter), and imagine you will enjoy it too.

Totally agree!

Anyone tried the latest Quivet wines to be released on May 17th yet?

I met with Mike in Napa back in June and tried some of his Carters. I loved them and jumped on the Myriad offering. I popped the 13 napa cab and was blown away. I’m sold on him and will be buying what I can for the Quivet Release for sure!

I think today is the day for the cab release. Is anyone buying today, and if so which ones?

Here you go. > NYC Mike Smith Tasting - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers

I’m buying - ALL of them, cabs and sauv blanc… a no-brainer.

Not before me your not. :wink:

I opened a Quivet last year and my wife’s response was “buy as much as you can get.” I have had about for or five and they are excellent.

Just bought mine.

In for 2 1/2 cases!!

Every bottle of Quivet cabernet I have opened has been excellent. All in for sure.

Thoughts on the 2014 Napa at $55?

Could only do a handful this year. Hopefully these will drink well young while waiting on the '13s

Ahhhhh, stop buying!!! There needs to be some left for me for first buyers!

Mixed case in… No brainer!

With my latest order, Myriad and Quivet are now number 3 and number 4 in my cellar… I’m a happy camper.

In as always! Hoping some fool doesn’t order his share of LPV so I might be able to wish even more!!
