Bad corks these wines - a lot. They were so good for a little while.

Still alive and delicious. Strawberry, dried dark cherry, chamomile tea and baking spices. Got better over time and a pleasure to consume over the quarantine. Stay safe.

Terrific. Light to medium. Earth tones. Raspberries. This benefits from an hour+ decant. We did pop & pour and found it much better after time.

What a Friday group tasting put on by Dan! Killer wines. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert. All blind.
I guessed Cali Pinot here, and assumed it was mid-2000s, so I got both of those but got convinced this was a Calera. This had a bit more cola and cedar/spice than the other pinots after it.
