Grgich Hills Estate
Napa Valley Zinfandel 2020
2020 vintage. Grapes from 2020 that actually survived and missed the Napa fires/smoke taint. Medium-heavy bod. This was lip-smacking delicious. Nice acidity/tannins mated with balanced fruit offerings. Don't need a Zin currently on the list but it is on the short list just in case. Resto pricing was approx a completely fair $29 USD a bottle. 8.26.26. — 3 days ago
Domaine de la Mordorée
Cuvée La Reine des Bois Lirac White Rhone Blend 2024
2024 vintage. Upper $30’s USD a bottle resto cost. Such a nice change as this was a crowd pleaser and covers a lot of food matchup/simple drinking pleasure bases. 8.26.26. — 3 days ago
Arnaldo Rivera
Undicicomuni Barolo Nebbiolo 2021
2021 vintage. Last tasted 2.11.26 (8.9). This has picked up serious steam in the last 6 months as it was tasted under similar circumstances. Medium body. Spicy, acidic intro that softened (somewhat) after contemplation. Earth, acidity, fruit, tannins, tar, tobacco...some "pop" for those that want some grip but not too frightening for Barolo newbs. 8.26.26. — 3 days ago
Grgich Hills Estate
Paradise Block Yountville Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
2021 vintage. Overpriced and underdelivering. 8.26.26. — 3 days ago
Calera Wine Company
Central Coast Chardonnay 2024
2024 vintage. Pretty nice for the $12 USD price. Liked the 2023 (9.1) slightly better but no need/space for either in the last year. Had there been, woulda been under serious consideration for the entry-level btg domestic Chard. 8.26.26. — 3 days ago

2022 vintage. Last tasted 3.9.26 (9.4). Big ginger mixed with lanolin, pear, acacia and citrus fruit. Still slightly "sharp" acidity. Suggestively spicy on the back end. This is excellent and should continue as such for the next 3-4 years before recalibrating/softening. Generally speaking, love love the Marc Morey 2022 Chassagne efforts as a whole as the varied premmie cru plots all deliver-big time-and carry a bit of restraint. 8.28.26. — 3 hours ago
