Last Friday was our normal 4th Friday happy hour at the storage facility, but since this month had 5 Fridays, why not keep the party going?!

Cherry pie with vanilla ice cream. Talk about delicious! Wow. Almost pop and pour. No note was too dominant or in your face. Everything felt in harmony. Nose and palate mimicked each other with oak, cherry, birch and sandalwood and black licorice.

Dried cherries, apricot, tiny bit of orange marmalade. It's by no means over the hill, but the palate and finish aren't lengthy...I'd drink up. Still, at 21yrs, hard to say this isn't impressive.

Maybe they don't make this wine like they used to but these older vintages are fantastic.

The newer PR's unfortunately are made with a little more overextraction. Those made by Hook are for the most part trying to chase that crowd. Sbragia's wine-making style is beautiful and intricate! We had a 90 PR at the winery about a month ago and it was candied cherries and herb funk! So good!

One of the best white wines I've had to date. For those of you who have contributed to the 8.7 overall score on Delectable, shame on you. This is mind blowing stuff. Herbal and grassy like on the nose, but the palate is so freaking rich and pure.
@Benjamin Keator mentioned he got some cotton candy on it and I could most definitely see that. Lush on the palate. My wife's exact words were "why do we not have this?" 😕💸

Rochioli

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2014

Ahh, reminds me of Fridays back in Chicago @Roman Sukley always started with a white as we got organized. Often with one of these. Lemon, slightly tart, honey, and ends with a hint of earth. Grabbed at a local liquor store, I'll have to go back and grab a couple more bottles. Not a whole lot of choices here in Casper. WY. 2014. 14.5 ABV.

Detert Family Vineyards

Oakville Cabernet Franc 2012

Fridays are for Franc! And I. LOVE. THIS. WINE. I could not believe the aromatics that exploded from the bottle when I pulled the cork. Seriously it was like there was a blueberry pie baking in the kitchen. Decanted for an hour or so. Deep magenta in the glass. Loads of Cherry and blueberry on the palate mingle with vanilla, chocolate, herbs, and earth - very rich, but so incredibly balanced at the same time. I’ve been a longtime fan of Detert wines and this very well may be my favorite vintage of their Franc to date. I’m just wowed. Can’t wait to revisit this again and see how it evolves. Really well done @Tom Garrett (as always). — 8 years ago

The 2010 CdPs are killing it right now. The structure on this shows that it is just now beginning to start to climb towards its peak. Decadent chocolate, smoked meats, rhubarb pie. In 3-5 yrs, you could sip this through a straw!

Aubert Pinot 😍. Much better after it has warmed up. Black cherry, cola, plum, amazing acidity and a black tea type note. I usually enjoy Aubert wines with a bit of age on them...this wine in 3-5 yrs will be heavenly.

Why drink Napa Chardonnay when you can have wine like this?! Wow. Mersault and white burgundy (specifically Cote de Beaune) are without a doubt my favorite whites in the entire world. The acidity, and full Chardonnay profile here were so pure...no oak! Gorgeous.

I saw cab franc and immediately went to this. Hello gorgeous! I haven't had much from Jonata, but I know the pedigree. Black tea, black cherry, toasted almonds, blackberries, cassis, small bit of oak at this point. Stunning!

Such a baby! Still needs time in the bottle. Decanting helps, but only so much. Like a young Bordeaux, this can go an easy 20+ yrs from now. Very dark and heavy in the glass. Tight. Blackberries, black currant, cassis, cedar, olive oil, herbs. Heavy on the palate as it's working its way to integrating fully. Hold!

Are you serious? Holy smokes. This is so Burgundian that I had to double take. So much cedar, kirsch and cola on the nose, but the finish! So unique. Herbal and floral. Little fruit (mainly red, big cherries). A savory finish. I'm missing out on Oregon Pinot!

I've visited Bergstrom 3 times so far. Besides all their great Vineyard site pinots the Sigrid Chardonnay is actually one of the better US chards I've had from outside of Napa you gotta look into that one!
