March 19, 2018 - Still amazing after 15 years! Probably has 5-7 more years. In its prime.

I’ve used Wine Searcher to find the rest. Also, been collecting for over 30 years. Buy a lot direct from the winery. Do a lot of traveling in wine country, too. Been into wine podcasts.

If I ever host a theme based tasting (closer to summer), would you be interested to come? We live in Wayne NJ. Just trying to find other guys that have been bitten by the wine bug to share wines with and impressions.
