Talley Vineyards

Rosemary's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

Smells like an Oregon pinot! Had a lot of minerality, almost a little graphite-y, with a slight tartness. Great! — 9 days ago

Domaine François Cotat

La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Old Sancerre, such a rarity, preserves that precision focused acidity and notes of dried lemon, dried pineapple and dried peach. Finish is refreshing. Wow. — 2 months ago

Grançois Cotat is top notch!

Jonata Winery

Todos Ballard Canyon Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Great blend with literally the kitchen sink of varietals (10!). Haven’t had their more pricy cuvées but if this is any indication, they knock it out of the park! Side note, gorgeous tasting room. @Ryan Colthorp came visit for a wine trip! — 2 months ago

Alban Vineyards

Patrina Alban Estate Syrah 2013

2013 intake. The label was scratched when I bought it, but the cork was perfect. Amazing wine started with the usual little Alban reduced funk but quickly blew off and licorice, iron, cinnamon and nutmeg with long finish. Loved it with Greek food at Athena Grill in Santa Clara, CA. — 7 days ago

Reva Alban Estate Vineyard Syrah 2011

Beautiful wine. Tasting outstanding. Dark purple fruits and berries, olive brine, dried flowers, cured meat. Its dry lingering finish of fruit and olive just lingers. This is great with 3 hours of air. So glad to have gotten this bottle. Rhone ranger!!! Probably has another 5+ years of evolution in it, maybe more. — 2 months ago

Santa Ynez Valley Chenin Blanc 2023

Had this at Comedor in Austin TX last night. The food there was overly hyped up, over smoked! Glad of this even though it's 3 times overpriced in retail! — 14 days ago

Stolpman Vineyards

Estate Grown Ballard Canyon Syrah 2018

Bold, full hints of ripe blackberries, black plums and dark cherries. Dry and balanced tannins / acidity. Wait for the smell of old leather. Great finish. — a month ago

Presqu'ile Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Good and balanced with a long finish but with a slightly earthy flavour that I did not quite like. — 2 months ago
