  You know the scene. He walks into the wine bar, orders a glass of Macon Villages and spends the next half hour telling you he's an expert on Burgundy. Well, don't believe him, Burgundy's hallowed vineyards hold mysteries far beyond mere mortal's understanding. That said, the code to this magical region is there to be cracked! There's no better w...

I grilled the meat while Dava made the salad and side which BTW were off the hook.The Dr Crane was delicious yet still in diapers. The Three Twins had a nice juiciness to it and... Read More

  One of our charming new posters, cysurvivor, was fishing for recommendations here for a visit over MLK weekend.  Since we're all pretty free with our half-baked ideas and opinions, we had plenty of ideas for him, didn't we?  Since Mauritson kept showing up on the list, it looked like it would make the final cut, so I went on private messaging an...

  Internal application of alcohol has always been effective for me v v, and I have to completely agree with your selection.No, this is the first contact of any kind that I have had with Clos Pepe.  As I said I bought the Ojai example because of the reputation of the vineyard.  Everything I have heard about Clos Pepe wines has been pretty positive....

  I'm finally getting around to this.  Last week we spent a few days in the Central Coast.  I wanted to do a little wine tasting, and we headed over to Edna Valley.  For some reason Edna Valley seems to be the least appreciated AVA in the Central Coast region.

  Agree, JenniferT.. good resurrection here!  I must've missed this thread in the past.GregT provided so much great information.  Personally, the most tannic wines I have tasted are Malbec and Petit Verdot (this one was so astringent, it was intolerable. It was a single variety PV). Petite sirah comes in third for me.On that note, I find these tan... Read More

  Not too long ago, I tasted the reserve wines at William Hill on Atlas Peak in Napa.  And the wine that impressed me the most was the Petite Verdot.  My suspicion is that, as Cab gets overripe in a lot of Napa locations these days, Petite Verdot will actually be drinkable as the majority grape in the wine.  (Oddly, they also had a really good Cab...
