Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
2018 vintage. A fave value producer. Jeff Gaffner's wines should be double their price but they're not. Many thanks. This offering carries on that tradition. Gap's Crown Vineyard not exactly the cheapest CA Pinot noir fruit out there. This goes a little less aggro than any other interpretation of Gap's Crown fruit you'll find. Sail on, sailor. 10.18.23. — 2 years ago

Reserve Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Herbal aromas (typically Margaret River) with Geranium Capsicum and a touch of menthol. Some green notes - medium weight. Savoury wins out over Cassis and black fruits. Not in the upper echelon of Margaret River Cabernet. Just a silver medal. We went to the Cellar Door some years ago and the story goes that the Reserve Cab was served at the wedding of Prince Frederick of Denmark to Sydney Real Estate agent Mary Donaldson originally from Tasmania now Crown Princess Mary and one day will become the Queen of Denmark. Fred is a keen sailor who was representing Denmark at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and they met at Sydney hotspot The Slip Inn where Fred was flashing his Black AMEX so the story goes and was captivated by Mary and the rest is history. — 6 years ago

Le Printemps Fleurie Gamay 2023
Great! Berries, some violet, floral nose. Dry and long vegetal finish. Lovely Beaujolais. At Sailor in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. — 5 months ago
Emilio Ramirez Envinate
Benje Tenerife Tinto 2022
At Sailor. Very funky, farmy, mineral, but on the lighter end of medium. Bramble with mushrooms and volcanic soil. Prune, red fruit, some anise. 02/21/24 — a year ago

Tasmania Pinot Noir 2022
Certainly in the conversation as to the quirkiest producer name. From the d’Entrecasteaux Peninsula south of Hobart where there are other big names in Tassie Pinot like Home Hill Estate. No specific notes but these wines have that trademark voluminous mouth feel you get from this terroir - surprisingly for the cool/cold climate. Red and black fruits. Delicious is an overused descriptor but there is no other word to describe this. — 8 months ago
Actually Bernie Herberts couldn’t acquire a four legged friend and bought a $10 bike at the local tip and rode it around Tasmania. Bernie has written a number of books about his travels.

Susucaru Rosato Malvasia Blend 2018
Tastes exactly like Lost Sailor / Saint of Circumstance (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - 10/31/1979) — 6 years ago

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego
2021 vintage. Last tasted 8.7.24 (9.3). Nothing has changed. Still drop-dead gorgeous with the mouth of a drunken sailor. Medium/medium-heavy body. 03.23.25. — 5 months ago
