Jun 26th, 2014Corked. Posting just so we can track any trends that may arise. I think it's important to see if particular makers, vintages, varietals have repeated issues so I'm sharing. I've never had a flawed O'Shaughnessy.

Apr 17th, 2022Sssshhhh. Don’t tell anyone about this wine. It’s cheaper and better than most Napa Cabs. Shout out to Paul Giamatti for ruining Merlot for the unknowledgeable. So rich and beautiful. Love this producer and this wine.
