Leaning Post
Niagara Peninsula Merlot 2018
I had the Vin Nature version of this wine, 2018 Twenty Mile Bench.
Quite frankly exceptional, no additives,natural ferment and neutral barrels, unfiltered and unfined. Just a perfect expression of this varietal. — 5 years ago
Signal Ridge
The Princess & The Peasant Mendocino County Carignan 2016
Love the varietal just not sure about this wine is the penultimate expression. Takes some time to open up but once flowered it’s nice. A bit fruity but not overly so which is a plus for me. Smooth with a nice finish. — 6 years ago

The Fifty Niagara Peninsula Chardonnay 2016
A nice Niagara Chardonnay. Quite full, but not overly rich if that makes sense. You get a bit of sensation from the barrel fermentation but there is no apparent oak, just body. Good acid but one smidge less cohesive on the finish than I’d like. Still nice. — 7 years ago

Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017
We had the 2017 Vintage on 1/3/26. A fantastic Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara. An earthy bouquet with subtle red fruit. Raspberry, strawberry, clove, mushroom and baking spice on the palate. Nice mouthfeel to this Medium bodied, well balanced and still New World wine. Of all the wines we had on our May, 2025 trip to SB, this was the best. We bought this at the winery. — 5 months ago

Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1988
Compared to the 1988 Lafite I had a few years ago (green and lean), this was a total knockout! Mouton being on the slightly bigger side of the spectrum, I think the ‘88 vintage benefited their style. Fruit is so vibrant. Deep red in the glass. Soft red berries, black cherries, mix of old red and black currant. Very floral…violets, roses, potpourri. Sweet herbs and leather. Nimble. What an experience, and one I hope to experience again! You have my deepest gratitude, @Mike R !
Also, how fun was it to compare this versus the 1986 @Shawn R brought! That bottle was an absolute smoke show, and totally in the zone! Main difference between the 1986 and the 1988 was a deeper, more rich profile with the 1986, as expected. But I still can’t get over how good that 1988 was!
