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

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.

A year too late or perhaps bad storage but still very good.

A bit acidic but otherwise more going on than the bowl of cherries that often is the story of Cali Pinot

Nothing better than a tasty wine after a long day. Juicy nice balance between the fruit and darker notes. It seems more RRV than Sonoma coast.
