Salad Days

Two Vintners

Some Days are Stones Syrah 2012

Ah, the Rocks at Milton-Freewater produce such remarkable and distinctive fruit. Morgan Lee’s take on the Stoney Vine Syrah is outstanding. Earthy, gamey, succulent, dark and full stone fruit (plum) that just keeps going. This is good for another 5 years I think. — 8 years ago

Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc

One of the weirdest, most intense wines I've ever had. Decanted literally for days. Day three was the best! — 10 years ago

Kutch Wines

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2014

I wish I could remember everything we said about this when we had it a few days ago. It's got plums and red fruit plus a deliciously long finish. I definitely remember thinking that I was a fool not to order my full allocation. Excellent "entry level" wine from Jamie Kutch. — 9 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001

Hard to find a better ambassador for 2001 Napa style. I'm not sure these wine makers ever surpassed this era ... Unfortunately a bit premium priced these days, but worth dropping some $$$ for, more than the average peer — 10 years ago

What a fun cab from the old days:) — 12 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Reconditioned bottle. Super complex, almost resolved. Lacking a little fruit which I’ve experienced in past bottles, so I think this wine’s best days are behind in this format - but it’s still an excellent 1982 Bordeaux. — 8 years ago

Three (3) Floyds Brewing Co.

Zombie Dust Undead Pale Ale

Best surprise in a long time, had a bottle sent to me from my college roommate half a country away. Very floral, well hopped balanced with a good malt backbone. A balanced beer more IPA than traditional pale ale. Only 10 days old. Would definitely buy if they ever distributed to CO. — 9 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2005

Cherries, dates and an aged color that nicely straddles dark cherry and burnt umber. This is probably not as good as the 2002 vintage I had a few days ago, but it's still kick ass. — 10 years ago

Enjoy late night, on roof deck, with salty friends, via a mismatched series of Old Fashioned glasses, and a-slightly-less-than-the-greatest-hits James Taylor playing in the background. Make memories. (Note: Mom *will* be disappointed.)
