Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Had to be a great experience
@Shay A 1st time trying. Really nice expression of riesling with plenty of acidity, dry,low alcohol (around 12%) wine. Notes of apples, some stone fruit, minerals, lemon, slate. Worth checking out.
@Jay Eagan Yes, fascinating to hear about his experience with Mondavi, help setting up Opus, how and why he got into winemaking, etc. The food and wine were good too! Cheers.

George Menini Estate Chardonnay 2020
First vintage from Hobbs.
I expected better from this producer. No complaints, but no glowing remarks either. — 2 years ago
with Anne-marie
But you are an Aubert fan @Ron R! I don’t think the Hobbs ever matchscup to Aubert or Peter Michael. Agree @David L?
Hobbs has cred, @Norman Gennaro. I don’t drink a lot of Hobbs so it’s tough for me to compare.
Been a while for me too, to be honest @Ron R
