Insignia is as consistent as they come. I have some good Phelps stories when we all get together. I had a friend with a key to the barrel room.

It's Baseball & BBQ night. Go Giants! I Coravin'ed four wines to see which would pair better with pork ribs, pulled pork, seasoned baked beans & slaw. Started with the Pinot...that worked pretty well w/ the ribs but not necessarily the spicy beans. Then, the 07 Hope & Grace Malbec. That went ok. I think the H&G Malbec is perfect solo. Third...was the 09 Ridge Carignane. This was the more classic pairing...yum. However, the 05 DuMol Syrah was the real winner for all four of us. It's worked well with the beans spice and the BBQ sauce. Handled both worlds of strong spice in the beans and the sweet and light spice in the BBQ sauce. Fun experiment. — 10 years ago

Bodegas y Viñedos Vega Sicilia

Pintia Toro Tempranillo 2010

Toro is my favorite spanish region. Its tempranillo blend, called Tinta de toro, is superb.
And along comes the Vega Sicilia family with their impeccable craftmanship. The result is a joyous, experience. Mature, and silky enough to carry the Vega Sicilia coat of arms on the cork, but lively enough to challenge the wandering palate.

This was a label pick... It wooed me in like a lady posing in an Amsterdam window... I loved it, oak, fun, playful on the back of the palate.... It reminded me of the first time I tasted a wispa bar..... The baroness was shocked that I selected a wine on looks alone... You can judge a wine by its cover.... This wine found me wandering through the library of O Briens - thank god it did@Delectablewine Delectablewine — 11 years ago

Chardonnay 2010

7/11/13 1st night back @home with u. U washed my car, I pulled ur weeds, we went hiking that day. You were my home & everyday without you my soul feels lost, wandering looking for my best friend. It feels like he died but he lives someplace, not wanting my love. The pain I feel expands into an indescribable numbness I am forced to face. I miss you every day. I have loved you everyday. — 11 years ago
