  November 20, 2023 - The first of several bottles I brought to my nephew's to enjoy during Thanksgiving week. It's drinking very nicely now. We drank this while preparing dinner but with its nice core acidity, it would have been even better with the meal.

  November 9, 2023 - Wow! I wasn't sure what to expect after reading the comments. I brought this to a tasting with my wine group and we loved it, and that doesn't even account for the very low price that I paid Garagiste! Comparing it to the 2017 Pondera GSM, also from WA state, I'm sure it was a similar blend, although I heard at least one person say they doubted there was any Grenache in it.

  November 12, 2022 - zingy fruit at first, mellowed after a few hours, but still nothing to write home about. Cooked with 1/2 bottle, threw most of the rest away. Perhaps will improve a little with time?....
