Two surprises today. Tammy announcing her final year as Meridian’s Mayor and .....an absolutely phenomenal wine to recognize this decision and milestone in her career. Deep dark complex tannins that lingered for ever. Dark mineral juice wrung from grapes from the Garden of Eden. They came together so smooth, so balanced. One of the absolute best!

My favorite of the non Togni older CA cabs. I've had a lot of back vintages of Backus at the Phelps Insignia days. This falls in line with the standard style even in a less stellar vintage. Leather, tobacco, bell pepper, menthol. Great aged Cab.

A Delectable milestone. Wine number 1250. ✌🏽🍷 — 8 years ago

Our final bottle in the case of 2006 Carmelo Patti’s legendary Cabernet. Drinking to celebrate a huge savings milestone for us that we’ve been working towards for a couple years. 😃🍷

The cork completely disintegrated so had to do my best filtering job on this one.

Color: ruby center with browning edges. a beautiful faded musty looking glass of wine.

Nose: getting a lot of stewed fruits on the nose. really deep cedar / cigar box and some leather. maybe some coffee as well. a very bordeaux style nose.

Palate. Oh my god is this good. Still such vibrant fruit, black plum mixed with some mocha and dusty old leather. Really lengthy finish. A soulful glass of wine, very old world. — 6 years ago

For my 1K milestone, I selected one of our Napa faves...
My wife described the nose as “masculine,” and she’s spot on. Loads of cinnamon interplay with barrel toast and charcoal.
Palette is ethereal as the wine has shed its puppy fat. Now displays cloves, white pepper and ripe berries. Finishes with hints of caramel. This can be cellared for another 10 years, easily.

Wow. I’ve waited a long time to try my first Tondonia (surely this is a milestone for any budding wine collector, no?), having held onto this 2002 for a while and having a case or two of Heredia’s more recent vintages downstairs.

Such was the anticipation for trying this Rioja stalwart that I was almost nervous that it wouldn’t live up to it - especially with 2002 being such a rotten vintage for Spain’s flagship wine region. But this was staggeringly youthful, piercingly savoury with a gentle balance of tannin & acidity but all the supple features of an old school, aged Rioja. This is really special stuff. — 6 years ago

Worthy of my fiancé ‘s milestone birthday dinner party, I remember debating whether or not to invest in “Old Sparky” 10 years ago. So glad we have more in the cellar as this extremely well balanced cab has many more years in the bottle. — 7 years ago

Leather, tannin, dark cherries and blackberries- oh wait- I was eating luscious blackberries. But I'm tasting them. So dark. Which is perfect because I'm in mourning and celebrating the life of the best man ever- my dad. He was 88 so it's ok. It's a milestone not a tragedy. So the soundtrack is Coltrane. We are now eating chocolate. Yes — 8 years ago
