Rockford

Basket Press Barossa Valley Shiraz 2002

Holy smokes. This is the best of Australian Barossa valley wine. This Shiraz was gifted to me 13 years ago by a good friend, Ron Candy - a gentleman of gentleman. A true Ozzie with a heart of gold. It was on this date too, while I was living in Sydney, 13 years ago that I lost my friend, my golf buddy, my business partner and father-in-law Herb Schimeneck to the wicked complications and consequences of cancer. If you’re drinking tonight, and so moved, raise a glass to Ron, and especially to Herb - two great men that helped me became a better version of myself than I could have imagined or hoped for. Cheers to you all.....my friends today and of tomorrow. — 8 years ago

Screaming Eagle

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 1993

1993 Screaming Eagle Cab. Drank at Press w K, Iana, S, and AG. Such a treat and very interesting as Kplanned it as a comp with the 1991 Harlan. For the first hour or so, we all favored the SE. Super unctuous and round, like velvet in the mouth. Then the wines came to temp and the picture completely changed and we all grew to favor the Harlan. Interestingly, the SE got flabby and very, very sweet. A thought it was bc it lacked the tannins that the Harlan showed. Anyway, SE turned almoSt port-like, with a nose of dates, raisins, and prunes. Amazing and fun to see the change throughout the night. — 10 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 2003

What a great benchmark for my first White Rioja. This special wine has notes of fleshy ripe cantaloupe, jasmine and anise. Balanced with the yeasty and oxidative almost sherry like quality. I could drink this on a cold winter evening or a bright summer days. It is balanced, elegant and the finish is long and complex. — 8 years ago

Slow Press

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

I snuck aboard the space station and made my way to the holding cell where I was told the princess was being held. Upon breaking down the door, I was confronted by a short person in a diaper and odd headdress who said "I'm sorry, but the princess is in another death star".

About that time all the alarms in the space station started going off.

After some brief firefights I found myself cornered, my only escape to done down a shoot into a garbage compactor. So I did. Once in the trash compactor I met a friendly monster called a Dianoga. We shared a lovely bottle of Slow Press while the walls of the compactor slowly closed in on us.

Fortunately for me, I'm the hero of this tale and, as such, made a timely escape, rescued the princess (eventually), and managed to do it all without realizing I had spilled wine on myself.

Chateau Ste. Michelle

Cold Creek Vineyard Chardonnay 1996

On the downhill side, but still very drinkable, the '96 Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay 'Cold Creek Vineyard' has nice concentration and intensity. Toasty spiced apple and orange marmalade aromas. Well integrated acidity leads to a restrained creamy finish. — 12 years ago
