Don't take yourself or your wine too seriously. CSW.
Ridiculous Rioja. Has all the goods. Deep ruby color. Wonderful aromas of dark cherries and black fruit with dill, vanilla, some clove and licorice. Leather and semi sweet chocolate. Medium acids and medium tannins but plenty of aging potential. Would be hard to improve though. — a month ago
Really appreciating this Rhône white! Complex and tasty, with beautiful aromas of peaches, apricot, and honey. Plus some lime and white pepper. Very ripe pear flavors, with some slate. Great mouthwatering acids. — a month ago
Orange color, almost apple juice. Has a wax and honey scent, along with smoked apple skin and a bouquet of wildflowers. Semi-sweet, with some orange blossom flavors and a sticky thick texture, but not cloying or overpowering. Definitely some barrel aging in this. Really pleasant with a slight chill and would pair well with some smoked BBQ or spicy Asian food. — a month ago
Dark and inky, smells slightly smokey. Does eventually blow off… Dense wood and briar, some blackberry, pepper, and chalk. Not a ton of fruit, just lots of wood notes and dark chocolate. Really a moody wine. — 11 days ago
Delicious summer rose. Orange salmon color with ripened raspberries and strawberries, plus a touch of citrus. Nose and palate are very similar. Good dry acids that are rather thirst quenching. Solid wine for under $20. — a month ago
Struggled with this one. I wanted to like it but something kept pushing me away… Incredibly strong herbaceous notes, perhaps fennel, but very green. Had intense mineral notes but lacked the acidity I was expecting. Some citrus. Maybe it’s better with some food but I’m not sure how I’d pair it? — 20 days ago
This Pinot toes the line between power and grace. Robust aromas and flavors but still fine and light, even for California. Red cherries and orange peel, some nutmeg and baking spices, even some mint. 2018 is drinking really well right now. — a month ago
Enjoying this, though it’s lower tannin than you might find a cab from other CA regions. Blackberry and leather on the nose that moves toward dark chocolate as it opens up. A bit earthy but some dark fruit too. Smooth and velvety, probably not going to age better from here. — a month ago

Always a solid Sonoma cab. Some anise and dark fruit, dark chocolate and anise. Slight bit of dill and vanilla. Drinks young, this could go for a bit longer. Good strong tannins but smooth enough to balance my prime rib. — 10 days ago
