Community Tasting Note

  April 22, 2022 - Napa in Philly - Benefiting CureDuchenne (Fitler Club): Wow, up there with the A&B Vine Hill as wine of the night among the 15+ samples I had. Inky, but precise, pure fruit. Boldest of the Covert offerings, I also thought the '18 Covert Sage Ridge served next to it was good, but needs more time. The '18 Covert Estate was lighter body, more cool climate Coombsville. May need to seek out JF's own label after this tasting.

Unfortunately, there aren't many dedicated wine spots (particularly b/c of the state monopoly), but the restaurant and wine lists have been getting better over the last 5+ years. However Philly does offer a good amount of BYOB restaurants where you can bring your own bottle and have a reasonably priced meal with it!
