J.H. Wheeler

Cuvée 1880 Napa Valley Red Blend 2019

My first wheeler farms wine

Had never heard of this winery until we visited TOR in Napa in 2023 and wheeler farms is their de facto winery

Started off a bit tight and then opened up and was solid fruit with smooth delivery about 1 hour in. Shut back down and went darker at hour 3. Good wine but expected more

Montagny 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

“We” (As in mostly, “I”) went through a few of these last month so I guess it is becoming our de facto house white lol — 5 years ago

Château Pradeaux

Bandol Mourvedre - Cinsault Rosé Blend 2020

As goth in residence I should alert you that aside from inevitable pheromones it is intellectual wine acumen that revs my motor. Ipso facto if brains turn you on, this Bandol will seduce you with its thoughtful rigor—it has its balance and complexity fine-tuned. Then pure sensual attributes (silky rhubarb/peach Melba joy/is that a bay leaf? And omg perhaps even a hint of allspice) are all guest speakers at the symposium. This wine has deep thoughts but is perky-goth enough to dance til at least 3am. Daylight may be too much though. — 5 years ago

@Paul T- Huntington Beach Fantastic. Yes, it is above and beyond. It checks so many boxes and does it with grace. Rosé to keep in the wheelhouse

Les 3 Brunes Côte-Rôtie Syrah Viognier 2022

2022 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. A fave, de facto, Còte-Rotie producer for slightly more affordable C-R juice, This had a little bit of everything but so young. Picked up a case but it needs a year. 03.27.25. — a year ago
