Warramunda "Encore" Marsanne 2012

Tasted blind, friend thought French, Sancerre- the elegance is, but has a slightly viscous body ( which for me is more Viognier, but what do I know about Marsanne? ). Quite delicious, & subtle. Lemon grass, our Aussie adventures continue. About 20$. Good value. — 6 years ago

Juguette (Ben Caldwell and Mauricio Ruiz)

Barossa Valley Shiraz 2016

Vino rojo-purpura con destellos violetas muy brillantes, en nariz resalta la ciruela negra antes de ser pasa y los frutos rojos, la pimienta, el romero, detectó cardamomo, hierbabuena y un poco de tostado, en boca muy aterciopelado (casi cosquilloso), taninos medios y chocolate negro (de los finos) y un final largo. Lo acompañe con un corte rib-eye prime grueso, espárragos, queso maduro y un jamón ibérico de bellota y todo marido delicioso — 7 years ago

9.2

Monthly WTF wine group. Special event this month as Ben provided all ‘80s Napa cabs. A few of us chipped in and provided some whites/bubbly.

Toasted Graham cracker, cassis, and even some old cedar wood. Structure was still in tact and young tasting.

Beauregard Vineyards

Beauregard Ranch Ben Lomond Mounntain Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Smells a little like cotton candy and exhibits notes of cedar, clove, prune, cherry, red rose, eucalyptus with perceivable mint-traits. In another dimension this may be a cousin of Heitz's Martha's Vineyard. Awesome to have with bbq'd steak, garlic bread and knowing this is the only winery for this AVA ( just 20 miles south of where I got to imbibe this 400 case production of local goodness. ) — 9 years ago
