Fronk Dineen Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2014

David's Folly because the winemaker and his friends call each other David. His name is Tim. His friends have other names. Odd.

Cab and CF. Lovely rounded and high toned. Challenging being at a custom crush. Exciting future especially when they get their own space.

Jean Biecher & Fils

Alsace Riesling 2014

Louis Armstrong and the Dukes of Dixieland are swingin’ it like there’s no tomorrow. And 3 years in the cellar made this grand cru riesling from Biecher perform amazingly. Thick clear golden wine; deep minerals and apples, perfumes, mouthwatering acids and a long violet-grapefruity finish. — 7 years ago

Copp Inn Ranch Malvasia Bianca 2015

Winemaker Faith Armstrong calls this wine “Tahiti in a glass,” and it really is much like a liquid vacation. It's a pale, straw-gold color with a nose full of flowers, citrus and wet stones. It's not terribly acidic at first, but the freshness really comes on as the wine lingers in the mouth. It feels lean and clean on the palate, and leaves a green apple flavor on the finish. Not strictly a sipper, this wine can handle salads, fish and chicken. — 8 years ago

Pétillant Naturel Hawkeye Ranch Sparkling Rosé of Pinot Noir 2016

Dang gurl.. why dontchya come on over here a little closer? This is delish stuff. Single vineyard Pet-Nat rose from Mendocino. Made by a passionate winemaker named Faith Armstrong Foster and you can see the passion in the bottle. Cloudy appearance due to the pet-nat style, beautiful salmon colour. Took a few minutes for her to come out of her shell, but then she started singing - beautiful aromas of pink flowers, marmalade, orange blossom, and wild strawberries. The palate is wild and vibrant, with some apple and cinnamon, tangerine, cranberry.. a tart finish with a fabulous fizzante. Just a lovely bottle of bubbly made naturally. Friggin great juice. — 7 years ago

Really enjoying this. Excellent recommendation Mr. Armstrong! Chewy and heavy, but mellowed and not "shiraz-y". Definitely feel the tannins tho, so be warned. — 9 years ago

Summit 2114' Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2012

I'm pretty sure this is what those IPOB people are referring to... this is the Lance Armstrong of Pinot Noir... Pinot Noir on PEDs. I love it. Massive, over the top, nearly syrup. Palate destroying. — 9 years ago

Seven of Hearts

Armstrong Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Balanced. Blackberry, plum, cherry, and spice on the nose. The spice pops on the palate as the fruit caresses. Deep and rich yet silky. The type of complexity you want from a Pinot. 2012 — 10 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 1999

Oh Chateau Musar how I love thee! This bottle has been open for two days and it still is bursting with all the flavors you remember and a few more! 1999 was the year that Lance Armstrong won his first Tour de France and SpongeBob made his debut. Predictably SpongeBob and this wine are still going strong! — 7 years ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

This is the sleeper of the night. Opened it to say hello but I'd definitely said goodbye to us and shut the door in our face. We revisited 3 hours later and there was a welcome Mat on the front Palate which stated "Welcome!".
Absolutely insane. Its transformation was insane. Beautifully integrated. The nose of the Night was a toss up between this and another. Incredibly earthy, leather, dark fruit & what a finish it was. Lance Armstrong didn't have this much stamina. Front, Mid & Back Palate . This is firing on all cylinders & we continuously revisited this one through the entire night.
Incredible, simply incredible. Thank you for sharing such a great bottle with us. IOU one!
