Nicholson Jones

St. Helena Sauvignon Blanc 2016

One of my favorite small production wine, 300 cases. Cal Nicholson spent his youth in So. CA & after a long marketing career he hung up his spurs to follow his 2 real interests in life – surfing & wine making. Jones is the maiden name of Cal’s wife Pam. A wonderful wine. Aromas of lemon citrus with herb, stone & tropical fruits. Palate, peach, Granny Smith apple & ripe melon flavors with lively citrus zest wrapped in lbalanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with mineral citrus finish. Consistent! Nice! — 6 years ago

Never had a wine made completely of this grape, but like everything in Mallorca, it's singular. The label says: Es biodinàmic tambien! — 9 years ago

One of my favorite wines of the night. A bit in the Gemini e side which was a nice contrast to other Cali wines of the night. Silly tannins. All around awesome. — 9 years ago

Given the price point was very pleased how well this 11 year old Grenache based wine showed, silky smooth tannins, still had plenty of fruit left.

Cal y Canto Full Red Vino de la Tierra de Castilla Tempranillo Blend

I was surprised at how much I like this. I’m not a Merlot, fan so when I know it’s there, I have a predisposed taste in my mouth. However, this is fantastic! It’s fruity but not sweet. It has a well balanced, full bodied mouth feel with a beautiful finish. — 7 years ago

Cal Poly

Syrah Grenache

Amazing wine. If you are ever in San Luis Obispo, CA buy some of this wine! We stayed at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo and went to an event that served this Cal Poly wine. Starts out and has a hint of vegetables but finished sweet and fruity. Layers of flavor — 9 years ago

Bursting with flavor. Juicy citrus fruit, mouth watering acidity, and a salty minerality. — 6 years ago

@Steve Anderson This is a cool bottle, enjoyed in my pre-delectable days. But I must say this particular pic of those three white wines would have been a very fun lineup alone, without all the other badass corks that were pulled during your evening.

@Severn Goodwin - yes, the line up of whites (also including an Aubert Lauren) probably didn’t get the attention they deserved. I’m fortunate to be part of a generous (and thoughtful) wine group and they went above and beyond in the quality and quantity of wines presented for our holiday dinner. A wonderful evening, but some excellent wines got lost in a sea of bottles. We actually decided not to open a few of the whites, including Guigal La Doriane, knowing that we already had too many bottles open.

@Steve Anderson Good decision to withhold. Palate and experience gets compromised with too many bottles, it gets tough for stellar bottles to stand in a crowd some days. Also, a generous wine group is really the best kind. 😉
