4/15/21, 5:28 PM - Thanks. SRH, I appreciate the shout out and kind words!
7/19/21, 2:12 PM - Nice, thanks!
1/11/21, 2:52 PM - Thanks for the note SRH and for the tip on K&L. I will check it out. Be well!
11/23/20, 6:19 PM - Agreed.
11/21/20, 5:17 PM - Yeah, I'd agree. Way too young. That's all I've got at this time, might have a 2015 hiding in the cellar. Going to wait on that, too!
9/18/20, 2:36 PM - Thanks srh, I'm happy to hear you appreciate the tasting note. Cheers!
5/7/18, 1:05 PM - I found this wine after trying its 'sister' North Coast Pinot, coming in at same price point and delivering excellent p2v ratio! This Chard could be a default Mon/Tuesday summer sipper.
5/21/18, 7:20 PM - Yep, it's a fave and just discovered the Von's in the 'hood is stocking and selling it for about $13.50 — I've paid triple that for a Cali Chard and been disappointed. Cheers!
5/7/18, 1:20 PM - @TMOVino2 thanks for the clarification, I guess I should've referred to it as a Bordeaux blend, as this would be more accurate. I'm not sure holding the wine longer will improve, but I'm always open to tasting again any wine – as they all deserve another chance! Though it should be noted I paid $38 for this wine and as such the QPR has a lot to say to me. Thanks for your comment! Have you tried this wine?
5/21/18, 7:18 PM - I'm a big Merlot fan and constantly searching for the ultimate expression. A 2013 Beringer Bancroft Ranch was fantastic after many hours of decanting and waiting. A few months ago enjoyed a 2011 Masseto from a Magnum that was phenomenal and the Ricolma, also from Tuscany is a huge fave as well. There's a BC (canada) producer, Le Vieux Pin (sp?) that makes a nice cool climate merlot, though it's rather expensive! What should I try?
5/21/18, 7:14 PM - Good point, as noted I committed a cardinal mistake by opening this. Agreed scores are all over the place, and perhaps not fair to score given the tightness, but sometimes curiosity trumps patience—that is something I accept as a fault this time! thanks for the comment!
5/7/18, 1:15 PM - Fascinating and thanks for pointing to your note @srh — I guess those tasters perhaps tasted a bit of what I did when I was put off initially by this wine—unitl re-tasting the following day when the beauty of the wine revealed itself. Interesting you enjoyed this straight off! Note: I enjoyed the notes on the Romanian Moldova wine in your notes, having traveled there last year and tasting many white and red Feteascas during my meanderings…
4/16/18, 4:21 PM - Hey Wine Tonite – thanks for you note and tip regarding the Petit club—I'm not sure whether we in USA can bring or have shipped that many bottles. And shipping could be very expensive! Though maybe it's just a good excuse to make a journey to Van a couple times a year and bring my allocation back to USA! Agreed, they are perhaps my fave BC winery—a killer Merlot too!
2/19/18, 4:26 PM - @winotim — yeah, I was completely surprised by this amazing showing of the wine, especially since I'd had the 96 Red just in the past few months and the Merlot showed so much better—perhaps due to the magnum and of course great storage.
3/1/18, 11:20 AM - Ahhh, yes the cat!!! Thanks, that's Dar and she found me and adopted me a few years ago. It's her house and, likely, her cellar! Thanks!
3/1/18, 7:57 PM - No haven't seen nor heard of Mondovino, but thanks for the tip. I'm going to check it out—sounds fascinating! Thanks!
