@Bryan Kesting : This was great, and so fortuitous after having had it just a day prior…might as well have been different wines! Much more depth and complexity here…roussanne aromatically but the Chardonnay came through on the palate. Absolutely a wine to follow and see how it ages!

Las Gundiñas Lomas de Valtuille Bierzo Mencia 2016

Love child! Never meant to beeee.... others have described this as a bastard infanta of burgundy & bierzo. This is a true statement. Dusty cherries, strawberries, great tannins, balance, hint of funk. In a spot right now that hints at future glories, tertiary aromas beginning to develop. All very Burgundian but with the extra womp of a bierzo backbone. Fabulous. — 5 years ago

Oh the glories of a well-made Silvaner! And you don’t get much better made than Klaus-Peter! @kellerdalsheim. This wine was ringing like a struck bell with honeysuckle, orange blossom water and the crackling minerality of icicles dripping in the sunlight. Pure and energetic and totally satisfying. — 4 years ago

Big Table Farm

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Kirby & Pickle label. Light to medium extracted red. Butter, briar and blackberry notes in nose. Raspberry, floral flavors plus blackberry-blueberry flavor with length, followed 90 minutes later by a low-key Bing cherry pulp and skin flavor. Bright, earthy, light seed tannins. Tasty enough, but decant for at least an hour to uncover the glories of its layered fruit flavors. Varietally on point and a superior Oregon Pinot noir, big and flavorful. — 6 years ago

Neat label- Bellevue, WA? I use to live in Seattle. Miss it. Cheers!

La Rosine Syrah 2013

Very nice Northern Rhone Syrah. A little too simple on day one, but by day two lots of white pepper and even a little smoky bacon to complement the dark fruit core. Not especially dense, but everything is well balanced for an inexpensive bottle that hints at the glories of Côte Rotie. — 8 years ago

I feel glorious, glorious. Macklemore

A chance to try the Glories, Antica Terra, and Lillian wines by Maggie Harrison. These were spectacular. Truly elegant wines. (The Glories were 2018 & ‘19, Syrah was 2013). @Classic Wine & Storage

Love Lillian and Antica Terra wines. Wish they would have poured at Fort Worth too!

@Shay A bummer they didn’t get out there. We had a few South Lake and Frisco people in for the tasting. Definitely try to catch it when they are back in the area, it’s a great one.

Grinzane Cavour Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

2020/4/4-5 with Roman angello alla cacciatora in bianca disossato, roasted canola greens and sautéed morning glories, and grilled pork kashira, katsuo tataki, and wasabina salad. I wanted to revisit this since reading up on nebbiolo rose (of which this is 50%) in D’Agata’s books. The it opened a bit mute, with some smoke, tar and heat, but with time fruit both rich and bright and floral elements all emerged. There is juicy acidity, and a ton of tannin that rounded out with air. Better and more fragrant and integrated still on day 2. This was the best Grinzane yet - I am looking forward to more — 5 years ago

Intense still out of date
In an are where minerality plays a major time this blend is more reminiscent of past glories than present transparent beauties
