OK Delectable family: what do you call that moment after dessert and cheese when you stumble down to the cellar and ponder, "how do I go to the next level" when nobody can even level the table? We need a name for it, as that's where I was when Dan took my hand off the Henschkes in a "please put the weapon down slowly" mumble. Thankfully he aimed it at this pleasant, potent, young jammy 407 Cab that, as I can best recall, did a damned good job evoking a young Napa Cab. I think I said Round Pond? Ignore the score it's a hazy guess, but thanks Dan - we need a term for cellar friends like that, too! — 8 years ago
Had this gem with some spicy Thai food and the rose again shined. This is a can't miss. @Dan White — 10 years ago
California Chardonnay #crushingit @Dan Petroski ! Inspired and soulful, wildly delicious. Abbondanza! — 10 years ago
Dark, half opaque ruby. Funky aromas come to the nose right away, in harmonic array between white truffles, mushrooms, a bit of cow manure, and red and dark cherry aromas. Wonderful presentation upon entrance in the palate, showing delicious cherry juice flavors that evolve onto darker fruits such as black currant and dates, but also a bit of vegetable V-8 juice, celery, and tomato juice as it evolves in your mouth towards a desirable lingering finish. What a pleasant surprise this wine is, made out of one of my favorite varietals, from Dan, Israel, for $10 ten US dollars?? This is really pretty good. The finish lingers with pretty savory flavors and V-8 juice. Even some coppery, bit of bloody mary flavors. Can't wait to try this with prime rib or beef bourgognon. 89+ pts. — 11 years ago

Full bodied, tart apple directly out of bottle, baked apples and pear as it oxidizes, light cream, medium-minus acid. Enjoyable on its own or with food. — 8 years ago
Easy fun lightly baked apples. Lovely — 8 years ago

I love Dan Standish. He is one of the best winemakers. Lovely wine, very young. Blueberry and Red silky fruit. Full Bodied but not overly alcoholic, heat isn't obvious in this wine. Great length and layers of flavours. Big points from me 95 points. A producer I highly recommend! Typical sweet Barossa fruit, very seductive... — 10 years ago

Serious acid backbone here- the PG adds a round component which is welcome and adds some fleshy richness. @Dan Petroski is a master when it comes to white wine. — 8 years ago

I've recently had Dick Vermeil and Drew Bledsoe's wines but this one gets my vote for best football themed steakhouse Cab. Well done by Dan Marino and Damon Huard (and of course the winemaker Chris Peterson). This is way too young, but I look forward to checking in on these in a few years. — 10 years ago
A keeper. Subtle and interesting but quite approachable. Had it with Claire and Dan with sone Naples-style ragu. — 10 years ago
Great fruit. Got better over time. Great job Dan and Michael — 10 years ago
Dusty cherries and plums, with notes of smoke, licorice, and cherry jam. A little lacking in acid, but quite delicious in that it is much more earth driven than most of its Galilee counterparts. It has a finish that incorporates cloves, cinnamon, and cocoa. Tannins are very well integrated. Better quality than most of its counterparts. — 10 years ago

I've never sipped Champagne while flying in a jet before. Especially a private jet. Especially Dan Bilzerian's private jet. I guess there's a first for everything, though. Bahamas here we come! — 8 years ago
