Used to love Pride but style changed when Foley left; still solid but not the same, though '16 and '17 show marked improvements with Sally J winemaker. Now return because I love their tasting experience and have a good relationship with their hospitality staff over many years.

  2/10/2021 6:44:00 AM - D&R.....for some reason I only have '14s and '15s of the Restricted wines and they come off Spring and Diamond Mtn not Veeder, my bad there. I was thinking of the Mt. Brave merlot. Now, I'm curious why I haven't had other vintages of their wines????

• Mark1npt says:

  2/10/2021 5:22:00 AM - D&R.....the 'Restricted' is just another vineyard on Veeder that Kendal Jackson owns...they don't make much off of it. A merlot, a syrah and a cab franc. Since I technically belong to the entire 'Spire Collection' club and not just the LaJota club, I am occasionally sent a 'Restricted' wine in one of my shipments. I really like their merlot and the '14 is just singing right nw. I finished my only bottle then emailed Will and he got 3 bottles out of their library right to me and there was no upcharge for being a library wine, which was nice. I'm pretty sure it was around $76. Cheers! ps...Chris Carpenter makes the Restricted as well.......

Homeless are allowed to "occupy" any spot in the city, and are given a 1 week "eviction notice" to allow them to move onto the next place. Address the problem? Why bother? Thanks.
