Mount Eden Vineyards

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2013

4th wine of BYOB blind. Very light with a slight effervescence, leading us to call this as a natty pinot. Was surprised it was such a classic. Have had Mt Eden Pinot before and this was not in the same neighborhood of depth/forest floor. Alas, not my favorite vintage — 4 months ago

Rhys Vineyards

Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Young but the wine is so on point. By far the best American Chardonnay on the market. Crazy acidity, so much citrus, tropicals including passion fruit, just amazing 🤩 — 6 months ago

Wente Vineyards

Morning Fog Livermore Valley Chardonnay 2016

This yellow-gold wine rings the “old-style Cali” bell in all the right ways. A nose of apricots, mangoes and apples is helped along with the smell of buttered popcorn. Oak treats the palate as well, draping over the tropical fruit like a sunshade. The acidity is zesty, yet the mouthfeel tends toward creaminess due to the wine sitting on the lees for five months. The oak is a definite part of the wine, but the effect is softened enough so that it's a pleasure, not a pain. — 5 years ago

Le Difese Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Sangiovese 2021

Respectable #supertuscan blend - earthy fruit, medium extract, but it was overshadowed by the second wine BDX we ordered after. — 4 months ago

Sono Montenidoli

Tradizionale Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2021

Crisp, clean, light floral bouquet, medium acidity, slight fruity aftertaste, good in its own and bursts with flavor when paired with fresh crudo, fruit, and salads. — 9 months ago

Giacomo Conterno

Barolo Nebbiolo 1968

Oh my! Expected some oxidation, but this was showing no signs even after an hour. Dark and rich with incredible depth and complexity. Powerful and glorious nose. Dark fruit continued thru a very long finish. A great bottle. — 7 years ago

Feudi di San Gregorio

Serpico Irpinia Aglianico 2003

Finally, this wine got into the zone.
The savory austerity and rugged masculinity melted into the wine to reveal a lovely balanced (and maybe even elegant) beauty.

Bedrock Wine Co.

Evangelho Vineyard Heritage Zinfandel Blend 2022

The 2022 Evangelho Heritage blend by Bedrock is very light on its feet with a streak of bracing acidity — almost effervescence — along with light tannins. It’s a deep hazy purple in its youth with a nose of tart berry compote and leather. Seems like it will mature nicely. — 6 months ago

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

Antichi Vigneti Propri Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1964

Still holding more of the red color than the other 64s, but very nice tar and roses, and after 4hr decant well integrated with lots of life. — 8 years ago
