Garagiste - This batch of wine was off..... Seems like it must have gotten left in the sun on a hot day or something. This is the second group of wines from Garagiste that I have had this problem with this year - not making me approach future purchases with confidence.

Garagiste wine - feeling a bit tired already??? Gave this bottle planets of time to open and blow off some funk, but it still was out of balance. Fruit seemed slightly pruney, and the funk was a bit too much..... Hopefully my last two will be better.

Blind Tasting Pinots with K (Blind tasting of Pinots in the corner penthouse overlooking downtown Dallas): Tasted blind -- very interesting wine, that I guessed was more New World, California, specifically. I very much liked the wine, but was I wrong on the country....very modern in style, but it could just be very young. Should be interesting to see how this ages--I would guess that it gets much better and more complex.

Very good. Some sediment. Kept it in the bottle when decanting. Worked like a charm.

Not much fruit, slightly bitter on the finish. Perhaps cooked as another suggested. From Garagiste as part of garage sale.
