Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Pearly spicy pear... so fresh and so clean clean. Dry with just enough sweet bite. Clearly I don’t know how to speak wine notes but you get my drift... 😂🙏👏 — 4 years ago

Chianti Colli Senesi Sangiovese Blend

Big cherry flavors that slowly drift toward dried cherries as it opens up. Very surprised by the low scores on this one! — 4 years ago

Château La Castillonne

Red Bordeaux Blend

Not a great bordeaux but a great average bordeaux if you get my drift. Well balanced, not too acidic, pleasant tannins and none of that fruity nonsense that messes up a good claret. — 4 years ago

JFK is someone I greatly admire, along with Churchill, MLK and Margaret Thatcher. Nice to learn a little more about him, while drinking a 2010 Bdx stunner.
Frankly, this is a Napa clone. Lovely notes of barrel toast, sandalwood, truffle and maraschino cherries, which drift onto the palette. Excellent poise and tannic structure. This wine may very well out-live me. For those of you that enjoy the texture and sweetness of Napa blends, give this a try...

For those of us that like to snoop around, on that middle shelf in the background is: Haut Brion, Harlan, Lafite, Scarlett reserve, Realm and Grange. If you are ever in the NY/NY area, come get some love. Let's see some other pics with organ extensions, please 😃

@Jody Scharf, you are right, of course. Bill is helping me with a small graphical novel. I hope we will be able to sketch the outline together over a glass in Napa. Watch this space...

Naomi Gibson Ranch Grenache Gris

Maybe the pettiest white wine in the glass I've seen, hauntingly pale. It's got great acid, lots of tart peach, beautiful texture -- feels like it keeps changing long after a sip. I'd lodge where this Naomi lodges, if you catch my drift. #oldtestamentjoke — 4 years ago

Olek Bondonio

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Still a baby but already extraordinary. The wine is straightforward and true to its terroir, to the nose it is elegant and complex, it makes you drift away with your thoughts. Secondary and tertiary aromas are coming forward after any sip. In the mouth it surprises you with its strength, and shows powerful tannins, freshness and acidity. It certainly has many more years ahead. Olek has a natural approach to farming, the impressive work he himself does in the vineyard is put in value with his respectful winemaking style. He proposes a really classy interpretation for his rich nebbiolo fruit. For this bottle, we decanted short before drinking. — 5 years ago

This is as mystical as the gorgeous flower on the label. Packed with fruit, with an oily texture, off dry but dry if you catch the drift. Simply thrilling. — 5 years ago

Au Bon Climat

Hildegard Estate Bottled Santa Maria Valley White Blend 2013

Ok always a classic cali blend for me. Over the past ten years it's stayed true to its style. It's a big rich blend, but very harmonious on the palette. On the nose citrus and tropical fruit with brown sugar and river stone. The blanc and gris combine flavors to make a very strong Alsatian grand cru style blend. A lingering finish seems to Drift on and on with medium+ French oak treatment. Definitely a winner for the alt white section. The river stones really come back on the finish. Yum — 7 years ago

Hunnicutt

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

This is the drift rows single vineyard cab (oakville 88 vineyard). Virtual tasting with Justin and Andrew. They made this different than the typical hunnicutt big and rich style. They picked a little earlier for a more ageworthy balanced wine. Nice minerality and dark cherry. 93-94+. Would like to see this in 10 years but you can drink it now with a decant. — 4 years ago

Nose is blackberries and slight hint of vanilla some baking spice coming through. On the palate, full on blackberries citrus and meaty (?) I normally drift to cabs so this wine is something out of the norm and my palate says the same. Theres something different but enticing. — 4 years ago

After a day trying to keep up with a 7 year old biking along the Elk River my wife and I decided to stop at the Bridge Bistro and have a sandwich and adult beverage. This IPA"Fat Tug" from Drift Wood Brewery in Victoria, BC. Is in my humble opinion the "Gold Standard" for BC IPAs. 🇨🇦🍻 — 7 years ago
