The whole Tri-state area celebrated this weekend. NYC was hopping. I’m so proud that we played a small part in the end result.
What better way to see the end of a nightmare than with Dom. Cheers. — 3 years ago
The Nocton Vineyard from Coal River Valley in Tassy just 8 minutes from Tolpuddle Vineyard. Fantastic wine which presents the same logistical nightmare as TPV for us.
The Central Otago TOSQ reveals even larger nightmares as it’s partially fermented before making the journey to a residential winery with tight restrictions on operations.

Decent effort by this Walla Walla winery. Sadly they fired the talented winemaker shortly after this vintage was released. One of my favorite wine labels — 2 years ago

To the end of a long, 4 year, nightmare!!! — 3 years ago
Red and black fruit, bay leaf, floral. Not a stewy nightmare. I don’t know if California Cab Franc can get better. — 5 years ago
Really enjoyed this wine, and everything else that comes from this vineyard. Smooth dark cherry taste with a finish like warm baked bread and spices. Tannins so firm they seemed to be hanging out ten minutes later.

Faulty but intriguing. What’s right and what’s wrong though? There’s some brett, a little VA, maybe moussy but I’m not great at picking that up. No sense of place though. A James Halliday nightmare (giggle). — 5 years ago

Having loved the 2011 VIK (reviewed here https://instagram.com/p/Be7X7M-niJw/) I was keen to try this £50 bottle made of grapes that didn’t make it to the VIK main wine ... oh & yes the bottle art was quite appealing to so I thought a good one to pop on Halloween 😁 La Piu Belle the goddess of Millahue 🇨🇱
