Status: offline 		Glad the Kiona sticky is working for folks.  I didn't get any from FP, as I can buy it locally.  And with these strong recommendations on the 2012 I will pick up a few.   Sean Sullivan, Washington Wine Report and Wine Enthusiast,  also lauded this wine again recently on his facebook page as being best QPR sticky out of the PacNW, (while jabbing the Canadians about price).

mc2 wines, yeah I got 6 each of today's Syrah offerings.    No peer pressure or anything, but I will be glad to pick up your pendings at Full Pull week after next (we are in Seattle area for vacation that week) and deliver to you 6/29 in PDX.  I can have it packed in a shipper. so you can check as luggage.  (Free if you are flying Alaska btw).   Let me know.  I've muled for folks before from FP, and am glad to do so again.  Fees may vary.

Happy to negotiate a deal

I would not be too worried about "cool" vintage from sites such as Ciel du Cheval, or Sagemoor. 

Even Dineen I wouldn't worry about with the right winemaker.    I will be drinking some 2011 reds from Rattlesnake Hills (where Dineen is technically located) in about 3 hours, so I might have a better opinion on the vintage for reds from that area. 

f22 have you tasted these wines?

Obviously am not F22, but did taste the wines at release - found them tasty as usual but purchased fewer than usual. The winery is only a mile from my house.

Dave Larsen is a good guy, and a very competent wine maker. Look forward to him releasing a Champoux vineyard wine again in 2012.

I had a barrel sample before blending ... Not enough info to tell yet. Still, I trust his winemaking skills. I will buy some after I am off my moratorium.

Status: offline 		Just a follow up to my other post, not really related to the Soos Creek offering, but maybe.  

I drank/tasted (5) 2011 WA Bordeaux wines, and 1 Zinfandel from Cultura last Friday.  All grown in Yakima Valley, various locations from Elephant Mountain area down to Red Mountain area. They are young, which is normal on release/pre-release.   Overall these 2011's from cooler sites also seemed a bit green and lacking depth compared to prior vintages, and I've drank and loved all of Cultura's wines since 2007/2008 vintage.  They are well made wines with nice balance, just this is what 2011's will be for these varieties from some WA sites. 

We've talked here elsewhere about this, and I have noted greenness in JB Neufeld's 2011 DuBrul Cab (that I rated 92 points) and I think long run, these wines will be very good, but pretty different than "hot year" WA Bordeauxs.   It all depends on the style you want, but I do know and expect 2012, and even 2013 wines, will be bigger and deeper than 2011 out of the shoot.

Yeah, the first year I was on with DP, I went a little crazy and bought a lot of wine from him. Then after drinking some and enjoying it and then gagging some others down, I pick my spots a little more carefully and then pounce.

Status: offline 		Dammit!  The week after I pick up and get to zero pending, an interesting Cab Franc and today Tamarack's single vineyard stuff.  The DuBrul has been my favorite for a number of vintages and this confirms 2009 will be last vintage from that vineyard by this winemaker.  Leaves more fruit for others, including CTer's , but the guys at Tamarack had it figured out and always at a reasonable price.

I passed on it. Family visiting on Wednesday, Charleston coming up, and I have a decent enough supply on hand for now. I would like to have the 6 Puttonyos, but the I had a 2000 Disznókő Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos, a while back, and its still at my local for about the same tariff and was really let down. It was rated 96 by WS I think, but really lacked on the acid, a few years back, especially compared to a 6 Puttonyos from Royal Tokaji fro the same year.
I think my preference is for the 5 puttonyos tokaji or Essencia. They are both great wines and age effortlessly, but the 6 puttonyos is sweeter, yet doesn't seem to get that acid dose in many versions.

I will buy more Essencia, as I am hunting down some Hetszolo from 1999 or 2001, and perhaps 1999 from 1999, if it can be found. I so want the 2000 Royal Tokaji Essencia but can't justify over over 5 c notes for it, and the crystal spoon makes it a bit gimmicky, to me.

I did read through it twice and thought about it, then held firm and hit the delete. I would have been opening a new case at FP as well, and that played into it as well. A small vertical of Huet Cuvee Constance, pretty much broke the bank in June.

Really everybody else has offered this for a couple bucks difference. If you pick up locally, enjoy, but I passed, even at lesser prices. I bought Northern rhone from the Northern rhone, but Bila-Haut at any level is good stuff. Have had plenty since 2010.

musedir will be in town, sorta.  Tom, wanna change your plane tickets?   

I'd love to attend, but not sure if we'll make the trip over.  I bought my first wine from DP in December, 2009,  2007 Syncline Cuvee Elena.  Fun to look at my purchase history and see that I've enjoyed 90+% of the wines He's sold me and I still have a boatload of them in my cellar.   I have purchased around 30 cases  over ~5 years (I might be eligible for a prize. ) and  I'm  back to almost a case pending.
