A distinct salinity makes the 2012 vintage really something special. Awesome stuff, here, but what else is to be expected from Matthew Rorick? — 8 years ago

Finally had a chance to try this famous wine (thank you @Matthew Rorick) and guess what? It's frickin' awesome. Brilliant balance, ripe fruit balancing laser acidity, it completely works. Really stunning. Pretty cool when such a highly sought after wine doesn't just live up to the hype but exceeds it. — 9 years ago

(Catching up from 6/23 - JB’s Pig Roast) what a great treat from @Matthew Beckman. Didn’t immediately recognize this as a Pur Sang based on the old label A bit of funky cabbage on the nose to start, but this was amazingly in tact for a nearly 25 year old Sauv Blanc. Wow. — 7 years ago

Baked apple pie, ripe pineapple, crushed gravel, butter, and pie crust... a style of Napa Chardonnay that I quite enjoy when done right. The minerality brings this together for me. Perfect pairing for some baked fish and buttery vegetables. — 8 years ago

This is a difficult wine for me. One that I go back and forth on...do I really, really love it or do I just flat out need it? Today is the answer is I NEED it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's so damn delicious. After all, @Hardy Wallace did win the '93 Massachusetts Hula Hoop championship so it's pretty clear he can do anything he wants. — 9 years ago

Only 97 cases made of this 2013 Barbera from winemaker Matthew Rorick out in Cali. Small plot, unique grape bold winemaking and a taste to match. Tough to source but worth it. Especially for a long Amtrak ride. — 9 years ago

Starts off like late be-bop with a great groove ; if you listen to it for a while and pay attention, you realize it's gone full-on fusion, complicated and funky and electric. Do yourself a favor and try wait at least three hours for that last glass (or more). Thanks, @Hardy Wallace ! — 10 years ago

Sow's ear -> silk purse. Lemons -> lemonade. Ashes -> Phoenix. Or something like that. Whatever the crappy input was, the output is juicy glou-glou American vin du soif by way of Beaujolais with a sidecar of natty Southwest France. I want this all the time. (Though not at the expense of declassing all the single vineyard fruit that's in here.) Even better when you're glamping in Baja. @Hardy Wallace — 7 years ago

Such a good wild fermented white, slightly bubbly but it hits the tongue perfectly — 8 years ago

Verdelho.Labeled California as it is a blend from Sierra Foothills (Rorick vineyard in Calaveras County and Dewitt's vineyard in Amador County) and Central Valley (Vista Luna Vineyard in Borden Ranch - Lodi AVA). Bright yellow. Intense, fresh nose with pineapple and ripe grapefruit. Taste corresponds to the smell, great mix of pineapple fruit and the subtle bitterness of ripe grapefruit, great balancing acidity, real depth and a long finish. Never tasted anything this good from this grape. Great stuff. Matthew Rorick strikes again! 2014 vintage. — 9 years ago

When I heard Levi Dalton interview @John Lockwood of @enfieldwineco there was the same excitement in his voice as @Hardy Wallace about discovering special vineyards. It was destiny that they'd make a wine together. Now I get to be the excited one. #PinotNoir #Mourvèdre #ChaloneAVA #MontereyCounty #AntleVineyard — 10 years ago
