What is YOUR most recent wine purchase? (Part 2)

Wine Bid delivery:

1991 Ridge Geyserville
2011 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon
2012 Auguste Clape Renaissance Cornas
2014 Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
2016 Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
2018 Tensley Colson Canyon Syrah

I purchased the 3 wines poured at the recent White House State Dinner for King Charles III and Queen Camilla:

  • Hopkins Riesling Western Connecticut Highlands ā€œHeritageā€ 2024
  • Penner-Ash Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2022
  • Newton Chardonnay Napa Valley ā€œUnfilteredā€ 2022

I’m going to try to reprise the dinner with friends (we’ll see how that goes!). So, I purchased 3 btls of each: 1 to evaluate and 2 for the dinner. The Penner-Ash and the Newton are now resting comfortably in my cellar; the Hopkins is on its way via UPS.

Very cool idea!

Still organizing. We’ll see how this turns out! The menu looks doable.

Channeling my inner-@Rich_Brown self, granted the better looking side…

1979 Robert Mondavi ā€œReserveā€ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

59% ToKalon Cab fruit.

Had its ā€œpredecessorā€ - for lack of a better word - last year, twice.

Where did you find that old stuff?

6 x Guffens Macon-Pierreclos Juliette et les Vielles de Chavigne 2025
6 x Guffens Saint Veran Les Carettes 2025 (first time this is bottled separately)
3 x Guffens Saint Veran C.C.P. 2025

En primeur from a German site - prices a bit on the high side, but I love this stuff and don’t get enough otherwise.
