December 5, 2011 - Bonham's Pre-Auction Wine Tasting (San Francisco, CA): sour apple, tart, herbaceous--not feeling it.

June 5, 2010 - Jimsomare Vertical at The White House (The White House, Anaheim, CA): I believe, Caleb informed us that there was no 'Jimsomare' bottling in '79 and instead they made a MB bottling using Jimsomare and another vineyard on the hill called 'Piccheti'. 60/40 - Piccheti/Jimsomare
A tired nose showing some maple. This was on the tired side with some mouth coating tartness. The finish seems bright and clean but overall a faded wine.
