What Bedrock wine are you drinking tonight?

I started into my 2016s as well with Bedrock Heritage a few weeks back. Delicious. Plenty of fruit with energy and structure to keep it lively. Really great and excited for more from the vintage.

Does the podcast usually go up over the weekend before the release?

I feel like it usually does and was also surprised to see a new episode had not dropped yet

Heya- The person who does our editing has been out so we are aiming to get it up first thing Monday morning which is a day or so later than we normally get it up. Always happy to share the release newsletter and notes here once they are done. Cheers! -Morgan

Does today’s Substack column mean the Angelica will be part of this release?

Yep! We talk at length at the end of the podcast about it but after eight years of building the solera for it we are releasing the first 800 375s of it. Substack is here if others want a sneak preview of the release newsletter on it:

Just listened to the podcast discussion, thanks. I’m curious as to the vision for the solera as you add to and take from it. If you are trying to get to that ā€œlegacyā€ wine you discussed at the end, does that mean that you are still adding more wine to it every year than you are drawing from it to bottle, so that the ā€œaverageā€ age of wine in barrel will continue to increase? Or are you more at ā€œequilibriumā€ now where you (generally) will draw out and add similar quantities (adjusted for evaporation) each year? Do you intend to do a release annually or less often? I’d love a deeper dive into some of these issues at some point, either here or in a future podcast or Substack column. Looking forward to it! :cheers:

Listened as promised on my way to Vegas today. Will be ready to order in the am.

Thanks

Silly question, but I know nothing about rap/hip-hop music. What is the song that is at the start of the Bedrock podcasts?

I have always wondered this and for some reason have never asked Chris. :rofl: Thank you @David_B for the answer!

Another crazy release. What a fantastic array of wines. My resolve to buy less and keep the percentage of Bedrock in my cellar down (yes @Rich_Brown , I know you can never have too much Bedrock) gets tested once again. Thanks, I think, @Morgan_Twain-Peterson

I pulled a glass of 2024 Dolinsek from coravin last night to check in before this release.

Damn it! It’s just absolutely delicious wine! My wife took a whiff and said ā€œThis is what all red wine should smell likeā€

Planning to go in for a mixed 6 pack and maybe add some more after tasting at the October pickup day.

It appears 2025 was a very good growing season so I’m hoping that translates well into the wines!

A mix of Gambrels, Beeson, Katusus and Angelica. Done

Order in. I’ve been extremely Carlisle heavy and with that winding down I need to get more Bedrock in the cellar.

Beeson, Evangelho, Dolinsek, Bedrock, Katushas and the Angelica.

Haha, I’d never heard it before the Bedrock podcast but now it’s on one of my playlists!

Order in for Compagni Portis, Bedrock Heritage, Evangelho, Oakville, Angelica and of course, Katushas.
