A bit tight, but we’re on the clock here in the bustling metropolis of Riverside where the wine bars close at 10pm. Good to be drinking with Phil rather than just reading his Delectable posts. — 8 years ago

@Shay Aldriedge Thank you Shay for this beauty!! Working with the staff at the office today and when the clock struck 12 I said..,,.,it's 5oclock somewhere!! I love receiving wines that I have never had before. Awesome producer, single vineyard Rutherford per the label. Simply outstanding! You definitely get a sense of the Rutherford terroir with this B-E-A-U-T-Y!
Dark fruit, gravel, and a freakishly long finish!! Simply outstanding my friends!
Thanks Bud!!! I owe you one! — 9 years ago

Out of the bottle into the glass. A suspiciously translucent and raisiny brown. This wine suffers from progeria... not a bad thing if your a 2011 Barolo sitting open on my counter but extremely unfortunate if your lying around in some cellar doing nothing. The clock is ticking on this one. A quick swirl and a whiff meh... Smells like Nebbiolo. Cheap Nebbiolo. First taste mere seconds in the glass.... Flat and watery... Watery, the key sign of an oxygen starved bottle... Some wines need to breathe... Some don't. This one does. Just a little... A baby's breath... Well actually, I dipped an aero latte in it and gave it a whirl until it developed a rich creamy head and Wow! This little wrinkly, raisinated tot matured into Barolo! With roses and tar and terra cotta earthiness and a palate to match. What a surprise! — 10 years ago

This delicious sparkler is bursting with citrus, toast, crème, and fresh mountain pebbles. As the official champagne of Porche, this bubbly is good around the clock at Les Mans. — 10 years ago

Wonderfully simple and light. This dry wine is just so lovely I can drink it around the clock and with every meal. Clean minerality with zero acidity. — 9 years ago

It's not going to impress your super judge-y wine friends, but your parents will love it. And I love it too, tbh. Put on "Time (Clock of the Heart)" by Culture Club while sippin on this blend and all will be right in the world, even if it's not. — 9 years ago

Kicking back letting the local tunes adjust my attitude with wine:30 showing on the clock she strolls in my direction digging the slow roll Hendrix spinning left then twisting right dressed in deep purple clinging and flowing interestingly crimson along her rim and edges back to casually claret whispering that she's from a small chateau hanging on the right bank of the Gironde near Arveyres. Offering her hand, I accept pulling her in close then a slow spin and a slower twirl she comes close bathed in the essence of blackberry and spice, young but ripe, wet earthy slowly working her way to a first kiss dripping then gripping, pulling tightly then going soft and silky still clinging while working her way deeper. I close my eyes, Hendrix stops and she's gone. A distant guitar string bends an unknown player. I spot her by the bar, her colors waving in the breeze of a lazy fan I reach out take her firmly by the neck, then lower bending her gently back then spinning her my way, she again engages, her essence lingering in my memory, we dance on as the tunes continue their spin. Later, when we are both done I figure she's likely a fine Merlot brightened by Cab Franc having found her way through new French oak nestled by the river, intelligently nuanced well worth the dance and cost is not an issue...

Hanging at Promise' Land Market where the tunes are always righteous, the people are cool, the conversation is groovy and wines dance from the walls... — 9 years ago
