Stanford Hill

Holloran Eola-Amity Hills Tempranillo 2015

Drank this at Vino Veritas with John King and Emma on 11/12/18. Not as tannin-y as most Tempranillo wines. Very good! — 8 years ago

Baronazzo Amalfi Passito Terre Siciliane Zibibbo

Very interesting. A play on sweet and sour. Plump yellow raisins, apricots, orange zest, orange bitters. — 8 years ago

Domaine Pascal Aufranc

Chénas Vignes de 1939 Gamay 2019

A nice Bojo while I watch Stanford v. Texas. Love the nose on this. Just explosively granitic, but there’s some cherry/wild berry fruit and pungent spice too. Much more austere on the palate than the last bottle I had a year ago. Bone dry, pretty much all granite, and a tad astringent. It’s very enjoyable now, but extrapolating the two date points (now and a year ago) suggests to me that these should be drunk up.

UPDATE: Night 2, the fruit is more present and the wine is softer. Maybe it’s night 1 showing simply reflects a dumb phase. Upping from 9.0 to 9.1.

@Bob McDonald - Unfortunately Oregon lost their Super Regional series to Oral Roberts.

Ok. Thanks Tom. They have slipped a bit. I remember it wasn’t that long ago I think they competed for the Rose Bowl and may have won it?

Brewery Ommegang

Barrel-Aged Abbey Ale Dubbel

NOT served at the Stanford Guest House...had to make a run to a local beer and wine shop to survive reviewing 11 proposals before 8am tomorrow morning. I’m not a fan of everything Ommegang produces, but this is terrific. Nice aromas of malt and some molasses on the nose, smooth and rich across the palate, with a lingering, slightly (but not too) sweet finish. — 8 years ago

Dolcetto d'Alba 2011

We bought this bottle in Alba, while on a Stanford hiking trip through the Langhe. After 4 years, we opened it, and found a dark colored, light fruity wine, which was also quite dry. A great complement to a pasta meal. — 9 years ago
