Il Rosé di Casanova Prugnolo Gentile - Sangiovese Rosé Blend 2017

Terrifically mineral and just-underripe strawberries. A beauty of a wine with beast on the bottle. Taken down in the sidebar at Covell. Proper wine for cheers-ing to chosen family. — 7 years ago

Mokelumne River Kerner 2014

Very interesting and enjoyable. Smells like a Riesling but tastes so different. Great acid and fruit. Love it now and I would imagine it will be better in several years. — 10 years ago

Rhôneish Redwood Valley Red Rhone Blend 2014

Delicious Rhoneish! Fantastic GSM blend that is so perfectly drinkable now. Classic California with a southern rhone Chateaunuef du pape backbone. This is a wine I could drink everyday! Went great with all the food we tried tonight... Perfect for a cheese course at the end of the meal. — 10 years ago

15 years ago today was our biggest Cab day of harvest. I refused to watch TV all day until I could go home, view the images and cry. Tonight we raise a glass in honor of all the firefighters and police who lost their lives, the citizens trapped in buildings and airplanes, the pilots, crew, and passengers, and all those left behind. We shall never forget! (Sidebar: the wine is tasting awesome and can age another 15 years!) — 9 years ago
