Davis Estates
Carneros Pinot Noir 2018
Bigger fruit than I typically like but beautiful baking spice and earth balancing it out. I really enjoyed this. — 4 days ago
Rusack Vineyards
Ballard Canyon Estate Syrah 2018
Needs about 2 hours of air. Great nose of flint, baking spice, sweet cranberries, plums, white pepper. Palate is well balanced with similar flavors maybe more savory than baking spice. I get some fennel and more types of pepper. Good fruit throughout but more dark and tart. Impressed. — 7 days ago
Domaine de Bellivière (Eric Nicolas)
Rouge-Gorge Coteaux Du Loir Pineau d'Aunis 2020
This is what all American “natural” winemakers should drink. So much tart red fruits, anise, tons of pepper, herbal liqueur like amaro, god tannin. Evolves with air. One of my favorite wines. — 4 days ago
Broc Cellars
Vine Starr Sonoma County Zinfandel 2022
Had in Thanksgiving after dinner. Still the best wine broc makes. Wish he didn’t do so many other random wines that have no soul. This is amazing fruit, tastes like zin but so well balanced. It was like an aperitif to bridge dinner and dessert. — 4 days ago
Broc Cellars
Sangiovese 2022
This was not great. Did not remind me of Sangiovese at all. Wish this was more like the original amore roso. Tasted green. — 4 days ago
Atrial Rubicite
Jester King 2023
Wow! Can’t believe these were distributed. July 2023 release. So much raspberry. So good with some raspberry creamsicle and so much tart flavor. It’s insane. Balanced with a bit of lemon and hay but raspberry lambic all day. Tasted next to a 2020 rose de gambrinus. This was better by two different tasters. — 5 days ago

Bonkers! So much flavor. There is no way I could drink 16oz of this though! Huge beer with tons of flavor from coffee and smoke. Insanely good. — 3 days ago
