Nice write-up on LarrySchaffer/Tercero for his GrenacheBlanc and BobLindquist/Qupe for his RoussanneHillsideEstate '06. I think the Qupe (see Qupe TN’s) is one of the most profound Roussannes yet made in Calif and, given Bob’s track record on his whites aging, may become the greatest Roussanne yet made in Calif.

Way to go, guys!
Larry continues to pile on the accolades for his wines…
I’ve had Qupe wines, but not the Roussanne - perhaps I should keep an eye out.
Very humbling to be included in a write up with the likes of Qupe and Curran . . . .
Thanks for sharing!!
Cheers!
Larry, any of your wines making into Western Canada?
Bob,
I’m lucky if my wines make it to Western LA!!!
Unfortunately, I’m not distributed - yet- outside of CA - and even in CA, I only have representation along the Central Coast. I do all other areas myself - as best I can as this is a ‘second job’ after my work at Fess Parker / Epiphany . . .
Will you be coming down for any tastings in the near future? We may cross paths . . . Let me know . . .
Cheers!
