TJ’s cab. I rate it high because it tastes like a very good $30 wine at $8 price! The classy guy at TJ recommended it to me… will buy more!!! Lodi = Idol — 3 years ago

Bevan Cellars

Moaveni Vineyard Syrah 2013

2013 Bevan Moaveni "Ode To M" Syrah. A tribute to my friend and idol Manfred Krankl, the bottle was gifted to me by my great friend @DAG , a man whose heart and generosity is almost as big as his mustache. But back to the wine, camphor, berries and licorice on the nose. The palate is an explosion of sweet blueberry compote with notes of barbecued meats and lavender. Super, super rich. Incredibly pure. Endless finish. A beautiful tribute that I'll not soon forget. Thanks Dag! — 8 years ago

Idol Ridge Winery

Smith Brothers Farm Single Vineyard Riesling 2017

I tried both the 2017 and the 2019 side by side. Both are very peach forward Rieslings with lime for balance. 2019 is a bit more mineral than 2017. — 4 years ago

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

2012 vintage. Decanted about an hour before tasting. Floral, velveteen nose. Very rambunctious, youthful and more chunkier like a Pomerol. Big and bold and unresolved but I dug the Johnny Rotten attitude and the Billy Idol sneer. — 6 years ago

This is the apogee of Red Riesling. Red wedding. Billy Idol would be impressed. Red cherries. Sour cherries. Bergamot. Red currents. Spice and engaging herbaciousness. Just so transparent and nimble. Loads of earthiness and dust. So complex and alive. Hint of citrus rind. Gorgeous. Palate is so juicy, energetic and engaging. Omg this is red Riesling on the palate like nothing else. So pure. So transparent. Fruit had a hint of sweetness but it’s awash in minerality. So complete and balanced. Just zen on the palate. It’s so complex, yet so so delicious and just incredible drinkable with dynamic freshness and wonderful energy and length. Lithe tannins that are so refined. — 5 years ago

Virtú Napa Valley Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2016

This makes it to the top of my “find again and buy some bottles “ list so far. Cold, crisp, not sticky sweet, but won’t make you pucker. $13 for 3oz pour. #Bottlerock Since Billy Idol was onstage while I sipped this, I feel I should be able to add him to the “who are you drinking with?” list. — 6 years ago
