I agree with @Greg Ballington’s notes on this. This is top drawer in its varietal category.
Now my take-off points for the cellar chiller unit are visible. Baby steps closer... — 2 days ago

I didn’t see it on their website, I emailed you the store I bought it from,
Reynvaan Family Vineyards
The Classic Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
I take back what I said to @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum about this wine. One dimensional, no structure or acid to talk about. Disappointing to say the least. Avoid this like the plague.
Air is its friend, so I’ve taken up the score a couple of digits. Still a major pass, tho. — 4 days ago
Hidden Ridge
55% slope Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Followed up based on the beach bum waxing about it.
It’s very good. Elegant, exotic nose. Slightly woody notes on the palate. Plush texture, with grainy tannins. Very well done. My only counter to this is that there are many cabs in the $50 category that are just as good. Since I paid $79, I conclude there are better values on the market. — 6 days ago
But to be honest, I love a bargain and this is anti-bargain. They got good reviews and jacked the price up. Not supporting that. Period.

Sodhani needs years, its aTRB wine, but for $70.00 I’ll take this over the 125.00 bottles I mentioned, but if they were the same price then things would be different,We all have different ideas on what we like,
I’ve seen Parker give 💯 to a bottle that Spectator only rated 90, so go where you’re palette takes you.
I’m the least descriptive person on here when it comes to reviews, its basically 👍🏽👎🏾 from me, can’t tell you what I taste or don’t taste🤷♂️.
2016 Paso is supposed to be great though!
El Enemigo
Gran Enemigo Red Blend 2013
Schramsberg Vineyards
Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
I’m back at USQ wines on Union Sq.
Great place to come and learn about wine for free...
this Scramsberg is very good. No need to buy French stuff, when the domestic product is so strong.
Delicate, toasty nose. Superfine bubbles which help to lift the texture. Baked bread and biscuits. Finishes with a hint of honey. Strong showing. — 5 days ago

An Xmas gift from a close friend @Bill Bender - thank you so much, Bill.
The nose is bright and boisterous, which oozes red currants and cinnamon. On the palate, this presents just like a contemporary burg. Light on its feet. Soft, round tannins with a lovely interplay of relaxed acid. Finishes with delicacy and elegance.
We are really looking forward to securing a 2019 allocation from the winery. — 20 hours ago
