Arcadian in the OC with Joe Davis (Jim Dietz's): Impressive. Thanks to Gerry for digging up this treasure, the first year of Arcadian and the wine was terrific without the cache. Notes of truffle and mushroom on the nose. Very evenly elegant across a fairly long palate. Nicely balanced with good citrus notes and a strong finish. A nit pick is maybe it could have used more expression overall but an excellent and impressive wine.

An amzing chard with an effusive nose of mineral, flora and pear. Immpeccably balanced and full on the palate. The finish? I'll tell you when it passes, I am going to bed.

Very possibly the best Chardonnay I've ever had. Wow. Beautiful golden color. Tropical nose with a lot of other stuff going on. All elements very well balanced. Beautiful finish. Full but not heavy. I never get too excited about any chardonnay. I have to admit, this one is a game changer for me. Hats off to Joe on this one.

For a 10 year plus white, still lively and going along just fine. Shows fruit and fruity apple pie core. Terrific.
