Finally hit the jackpot! Third and fourth bottles with clan 11/30/19 as gathering breaks off with half leaving. What a perfect match to real fois gras from Wilson. Everyone agrees and some found out belatedly a little goes a long way. Four more to go and also found another 75 Sauternes. Rated with leftover second bottle and yes each bottle different. Third bottle least oxidized and complex and in balance. — 6 years ago

What a great prelude to the Greenock. A precursor wine showing the quality of fruit that the Kalleske clan has at their disposal to play with. — 8 years ago

I know it is the offspring or the want a be cousin of the Schrader clan but I just get worried drinking with the thought of drinking 200 plus often so this Napa Cab will be fine - it is singing to me and not the seasonal favorites but deep bass hymnals in that good way saying "man is this good bud" followed by "amen" and then "c'mon man" and then I wake up realize I was wanting this to be a RBS but what the heck - this is sort of distinctively good and at quarter of the other Schrader cabs I came back to saying "Amen" - almost big, bold enough and thus a good looking wine - deep dark fruit with blackberries, smell is very intoxicating and a little smokey with some heat but good balance so smooth enough and finally finish is lingering long enough to think about the entire package while compelling you to take another taste but with graceful sync - for the money - definitely recommend and hard to get after 2011 so might be a dinosaur soon - this is a good night to smile and of course the double diamond bomber x helps the lips curve upward on the ends as demonstrated in the small picture to follow 😃👍🍷 — 9 years ago

Smoky Peaty and spirity aromas Also Iodine and Briny notes showing its maritime location. A single malt matured in charred oak casks. There is some conjecture as to whether Talisker is classified as Island or Islay but suffice to say it is the only Distillery on the Isle of Skye. Had a tour of Talisker many years ago after going to the HQ of the MacDonald Clan on Skye. I bought this 1 Litre bottle at Gatwick Airport about 2 months ago before we headed up to Inverness and the Highlands. — 6 years ago

California con estilo a Bourgogne (Cote Beaune), liviano y no overpowering de alcohol. Toque de spice en la nariz y buen balance entre fruta y acido en el paladar. ( Clan del Vino ) — 8 years ago

Every time I open one of Paul Lato’s wines, I ask myself the same question: Why don’t I buy every bottle I get offered? This is amazing. I don’t know if this is sourced from the same vines that Gary, Mark, and Jeff use for their (incredible) Pisoni Estate pinot, but Paul’s expression of the fruit hits some of the same notes - but also some different ones - from what the Pisoni clan produces. Amazing notes of dried cherries, spice box, and a hint of earth, all folded into a seamless wine that just opens up on the palate with layers of evolving flavors, ending in a finish that lingers for nearly a minute. Awesome stuff. — 6 years ago

it’s like Grand Cru Chablis except it’s Chenin. Smells like super great Dauvissat initially. Green Apple and tons of mineral. One of those wines that smells stuffed to the gills just by the nose, but you know it is holding out. Almost some green pea as well. No wax. No almonds. Clean nuts if that makes sense. This is new wavey Chenin like Guiberteau. Palate is just electric but is more Chenin than the nose with its feral fruit energy and vibe but also it has a Rieslingesque cleanliness to it. Dirty Chenin is one of my pet peeves. This is clan as a whistle. Like a cross between Guiberteau and Dauvissat. Dense, chewy, structured and deep. So clean and pure and length that does not quit. What poise and structure. But a lovely finesse and breed as well. This is sappy and dense as can be and one can crunch through the structure. Stunning purity and what a wonderful new expression of Chenin. Saumur is the place. — 7 years ago

An almost perfect representation of Howell Mountain Cab. Props to the von Strasser clan for delivering this beauty in 2011. Tannic, berries, a bit of smoke and slight acidity. — 8 years ago

Yo G. Apparently the name was inspired by the Big Lebowski, which is a great movie, and the wine is really good in its own right. Condolences on Indians but they had an awesome run. Hope allis well with Gibbs clan — 9 years ago
