  September 15, 2021 - Had a nice steak dinner planned...things went a little sideways with some tough family news. Honestly went to Eurocave and snagged something without thinking. I saw what I had grabbed and thought no way, a 2017??? but what the hell. Damn this was open and alive and it was fantastic. Man the fruit...the tannins and acid just electric tonight for a young legit cab that was popped n poured.
  
  It was one of those nights when wine takes a distant backseat to life....yet you are overwhelmed by its simple pleasure.
  
  Well done Kian, Karen and team.
  2017 and smoke be Damned

Shame some painted the 2017 vintage with such a broad stroke and thought the entire vintage was compromised for everyone. There are some awesome wines out there waiting for homes. And more importantly, we hope your family challenges are overcome. Karen & John

  Hope all is going better with the family.

Was really surprising because the 2017 Merlot we opened the week prior, while certainly not bad, just did not show what I think what it will with a bit more age. That is the beauty of living, breathing wine. Never quite sure what you will get from day to day.
