Brings back memories when I visited Chateau Haut-Brion and was spoiled by the managing director over a one-on-one lunch on the premises. Perhaps the best 3 hours of my life!!!

  11/26/2022 7:35:00 AM - Hello-thank you for becoming a Fan and Friend. I met Dick Grace at Caymus in 1980. I have tasted 1978-1983 and 1988 Grace Cabernet Sauvignon-see my Grace Tasting Story. Have enjoyed two visits to Chateau La Mission Haut Brion. Have tasted at DRC. Have enjoyed the pre phyllorexa vineyard at Bollinger and tasting of course.

We may bring a Healdsburg or Amador County gem with us. Understanding the likelihood is slim, all the way around, it'd be great to connect with any of our CT wine friends while so close to your domicile... Not putting dates on a public post, but email is DetroitSuns at G mail if you'd like to reach out for a possible dinner or wine sharing or something... Marcus & Ana. Noroc!

• jlgnml says:

  6/25/2015 7:31:00 AM - Dick Grace's first bottlings were Caymus, Grace Family Vineyard. Chuck Wagner made one of the first vineyard designation wines starting with '1978 thru 1982 and helped Dick Grace become one of the first California cult wines. The 1983 and forward today are from Dick Grace. Hope this helps.

• drrobvino says:

  1/20/2015 4:28:00 PM - Ever go to CellarTracker offline tastings? We have these quarterly in Cincinnati area, maybe one a year in Indy if u want to join a small group and bring a few fellow wine lovers to share amazing stuff.

• jlgnml says:
