I used to go skiing on May Day, in New England that's becoming a rarity unless you head far North now, perhaps the climate has evolved?

Wait, I thought you were skiing in your backyard last weekend or was it the one before? ❄️

Two weekends ago, but I've stopped counting days, mostly.

Hope Family Vineyard Grenache

Smelled of deep, rich herbal earth. Like a warm summer afternoon hiking in the foothills of Appalachia. The taste was so starkly different to be unrecognizable. Butter, like a steak basted in butter. Fruit was an afterthought, but the entire thing was still big and bold and tricks your senses. Like dating a red headed girl. — 6 years ago

This is actually the Albariño blend, but who really gives a damn. I do. It’s tasty. It’s light and happy. It’s the perfect one glass quaff before my to go is “ding ding, order up!” — 5 years ago

Seriously tasty. Dried apricot and pineapple. Had a little funk upon opening but blew off in about 30 minutes. Really evolved in the glass as the temperature rose. — 8 years ago

Paso Robles Lagrein 2013

Really ballsy and unique wine. Today’s tasting in Yountville will go down as one of my favorites of all time. First I’d ever heard of this grape, grown in Paso. Black fruit covered in licorice. If you go (and I’d highly recommend it), go for the cheese pairing it’s well worth it. — 6 years ago

Ost-Intrigen Ricci Vineyard St. Laurent 2015

Lean and mean. 1st day had some pleasant reductive funk, day 2 had blown off. I’d compare to cru bojo, bough more savory/less fruit. 10% alcohol. Tasty. 👍 — 6 years ago
