Dad's Day Off
Hobo Wine Company
Sceales Vineyard Grenache 2012
HAPPY GRENACHE DAY!!! This 2012 Hobo Grenache comes from Sceales Vineyard in Alexander Valley in Sonoma County. Winemaker/Owner Kenny Likitprakong dropped off his kid at school one day, and the teacher said her father was having problems selling his grapes- turned out to be 80 year old dry farmed Grenache from this vineyard. Lots of black & red cherry w/ spice, tar, and lush, lush texture. Great w/ BBQ and spicy food. — 11 years ago

Avenel Cellars
Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Another spectacular Cabernet from my favorite wineries in Napa. Had the 2012 vintage with some young Gouda an it really sets it off. Stil, it's a bit young in my mind and would be fantastic in a few years. Definitely standouts in my mind as one of the best cabs I've had in a while. Wonderful fullness with soft and integrated tannins. And layers of black cherry, blueberries and coca dance around your tongue as it is sipped. Gonna have it with some awesome authentic german goulash. A perfect finish to a nice day in the South Bay. — 10 years ago

La Fiorita
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2005
Popped and poured through a Soirée. This was firing on all cylinders right from the get go. Beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and crushed red raspberries and tea. Had that ethereal thing going that's found in the more honest BdM's. Tannins have softened considerably since my last bottle which makes me wonder if there could be some bottle variation. This was delicious with pasta all'arrabbiata. After about three hours, however, it fell off a cliff. It became really disjointed and started to smell a bit like varnish. The next day didn't yield any better results. This bottle was clearly on the decline. I'll try another bottle soon and see if it's the same experience. My advice, zero decant and enjoy with a meal in the near term. — 11 years ago
