Sort of baffles me that more producers donāt do a release podcast. I listen to every Bedrock pod, every Yeah! pod. They always make me want to buy more of the wines.

Nope. The retirement buying freeze has to start. Iām actually feeling OK with it.

Gotta admit I bet thatās liberating. Inheriting your dadās cellar definitely helped you limit your buying and stop accruing new wine.

If I inherited my Dadās cellar, it would have contained a half bottle of cheap brandy and four cans of Pabst. All given to him years earlier. He wasnāt much of a drinker.

Hereās a fun one! 2010 Ode to LuLu Rose. Yepā¦a 16 year old rose. And honestlyā¦youād never know it. Still a lovely pale salmon color, with freshly picked strawberries and a hint of watermelon on the nose.
In the mouth, if i didnāt know better, you literally could have convinced me it was a new release. Fresh and bright citrus, sweet strawberry, and a slight bitter/savory note on the finish that adds intrigue. Pretty damn impressive @Morgan_Twain-Peterson ! Actually have 3 more in the cellar (and a 2009 thats a tiny bit darker but still looks great) that Iāll hold for a bit to see what happens

The cellar has to be DEEP to hold rose for 16 years

2020 Puccini Vineyard Zinfandel
The potential was there but it was disjointed and never really came around. Perhaps it needs some more time in the cellar.

The podcast is a good listen. Changed my strategy for tomorrow.

My dadās cellar was so different from my own that it had almost zero effect on my buying. It made more changes to my drinking, as I went from maybe 5 bottles of Cabernet a year to more like 30.

Had a bottle of 2017 Heritage Lorenzoās Vyd. during the Superbowl. It had the misfortuane of coming after a really good 2015 Bucklin Bambino. I think itās ready to go and was probably better, in my opinion, around the time of Tom Leeās note to which Iām replying.
Iām curiousā¦in what way?
Hearing Morgan describe the blends. Crossed at least one off the list and added at least two others.

Hard work limiting it to a case but I have so much Bedrock red in the cellar. Went for 3x of each white and 3 Sky.
