Excellent. Back in the day (1999-2003) we had some excellent offlines at Tanglewood.

@H_Wallace_Jr will there be a podcast or tasting notes on the new 2024 fall release?

Opened a 2016 D&R Antle Vineyard Mourvèdre tonight, and it’s an electric saddle. It has all the leathery, earthy aspects of an aged Mourvèdre but with a shot of acidity that pierces the mid-palate.
Yowza!

2020 D&R Especial
Brought this to a non-wine friend’s birthday dinner. Everyone loved it, with its bright crunchy fruit, soulful yet easygoing balance of savoriness, sweet red and purple fruit, a swipe of green herbs, and friendly tannins.
For me, this triggered an intense flashback to the early months of Pandemic lockdown, to the first of Hardy’s zoom tastings - live sax from one of his pals, seeing WBers live for the first time after reading their posts for years, and a giddy sense of exuberance - that we were going to be ok, that art and magic and joy could exist in bright bursts amidst the sea of dread outside. This was a total kool-aid moment for me, as I had had an appreciation for Hardy’s winemaking before; afterwards I became a true believer.

Edited, as I clearly had lost my way . . . . 
Wrong thread Terry?
Probably.
I’m going to consult Neal.
Edit to add: well, now I get it! Now that I’ve seen a picture (below, of Hardy’s wine label) I see how off target I was. 
I saw the thread title and mistakenly thought this was the place to past about a wine that blew me away, a wine to “make me cross my eyes and dot my T’s if you know what I mean” sort of wine. 
Carry on! 
We had this wine (2020 Chenin Blanc Brosseau Vineyard) a couple of weeks ago when Hardy announced the Fall release. Stunning purity and complexity.
Hardy’s red wines, Evangelho, other Mourvedre, Red blends, etc. etc. get a lot of praise and rightfully so. I never pass up adding EDWCY red wines when released but don’t miss the white and orange wines which are equally impressive and pair so well with food!
New release is out!

Thanks so much, Tom! That 2020 Chenin is a beauty.
Thanks for the order this am! So glad you got some of the 2023! (We are down to about 6 bottles right now.)

Last night I popped a '19 Love Language Red. Only got one pour and it got drained by guests. Everyone loved it. I guess it spoke their language.

I couldn’t include a pic of the Go Rick Red also opened. A guest decided it was his favorite wine ever & was carrying it around Saturday for his personal consumption. He put the empty in his car- “I’m going to find more of this!!”
I never got a taste either, which is a bummer because I immensely enjoy that wine & it was a recently discovered bottle after thinking I was out.
So @H_Wallace_Jr if a persistent guy from Minnesota calls looking for Go Rick Red, let him down easy and tell him I’ll find him something else he likes. Although I think it’s more likely he calls me in the next couple of days and asks- “Why the f@&k do I have an empty bottle of wine in my trunk?”

Ha! This is amazing. Go Rick Red strikes again!
Should he want to relive his GRR experience we have 2 loose bottles available.
