I will be doing my best to stay away from mine! The wines will only get better, and, unfortunately, more expensive! I wish I had purchased more than a 3 pack....but pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered!

( truth)...and that was before the power outages that affected EVERYONE right at harvest of the reds. Most did not have generators to sort, process, ferment, etc. It should be a good crop but I'm worried about some wines being a little too ripe or high in alcohol as processing was deleyed anywhere from 3 days to a week or more for some. I'm buying sparingly until I can taste some.....Mark

• Mark1npt says:

  10/29/2020 5:30:00 PM - Dan....that's a great question! I have one bottle of a '66 Latour left. The first bottle was heavenly....if you like perfectly drinking, aged BDX. If I went Cali, it would probably be my last bottle of B Cellars '15 Missouri Hopper. It was THE wine that made me join their wine club. I turned about 8 other people on to it and they all also joined the club because of it. As close to a 100 point wine that I've come, I think?

  8/4/2019 7:58:00 PM - Dan, here is hoping for you the 2016 is everything you want it to be. In general it seems reviews of 16 cabs are better than 15. So there is a good chance.

• vintage1949 says:

  8/4/2019 3:42:00 PM - Greetings Again, You indicated the O.G. was the best wine you ever had. May I inquire what vintage that was? FYI I ordered two bottles of O.G. 2017. Anxious to try one after reading all the positive reviews including yours of past vintages. I found your comment on Three Kings most interesting. For the 2018 vintage I will pick up a couple of those as well as the O.G. Thanks for your message. Dave
