The Falstaff Napa Valley Red 2016

First bottle I’ve opened of Falstaff. Lovely wine. Silky smooth, floral, dark fruit, nice finish. Drinking very well right now with a short decant. — 4 months ago

Kutch Wines

Falstaff Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

This is gorgeous. A paradoxical wine that is restrained yet flavor packed. Still young but starting to show its potential. Wild cherry, cranberry, and orange zest. Framed by lively acidity and that cherry note maintains through the long finish. — 6 years ago

I Think Manzanilla Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Sanlúcar de Barrameda was the port that Christopher Columbus set off from in 1492. Just 1 year earlier, duties on wine exports from Sanlúcar had been abolished to take advantage of English merchants desperate for new supply after the loss of Bordeaux.

It began a centuries-long romance between Sherry and English wine lovers, as immortalized in Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 2, when Falstaff glorifies sturdy Spanish 'sack' over thin Bordeaux 'claret' and Rhine 'hock'.

But the honeymoon, quite literally, was not to last. Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon drove a wedge between England and Catholic Europe, and left English wine lovers in need of a new source once again. But Sherry fanatics wouldn't have to go entirely without. When Sir Francis Drake sailed into Cádiz and burned the Spanish fleet in 1587, he carried away 2,900 butts of Sherry - enough to supply London for years - as his most famous prize.
