End Of The Vine

Bogle Family Vineyards

Phantom Old Vine California Zinfandel Blend 2011

I have a cold, but it has a strong, yet enjoyable flavor. I like how dark of a wine it is. — 19 days ago

Klinker Brick

Old Ghost Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel 2021

Amazing Zinfandel, fruity, taste of sweetness, still fresh. — 4 months ago

Rippon Vineyard

Mature Vine Lake Wanaka Pinot Noir 2010

This was rich and delicious. It was fair enough for Suckling to pose the question “Is this the best NZ Pinot so far”? Ticks all the requisite boxes - ripe red and black fruits, a creamy texture, a nice garrigue herbal note. This Pinot lives up to the gorgeous site - one of the most awesome views you will see from the top of the vineyard over Lake Wanaka. Most impressive. — 4 months ago

Jo is a great host with one of the best winery views in the world. Wines don’t suck either.

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2014

2014. Enjoyed a small splash at the end of a great birthday meal at The Oven!
Such pure stone fruit and honeyed aromas and flavors with balanced sweetness and acidity.

Cakebread Cellars

Vine Hill Ranch Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Cherry, vanilla, black berry.. on sweeter end of a cab. I know there are finer wines out there, but cake bread has consistently been some of my favorite wine for years now. I always look forward to a package when it arrives! — 4 months ago

Broc Cellars

Vine Starr Sonoma County Zinfandel 2024

End of my Broc holiday shipment. Light and very tart zin. Blackberry, plum, and craisins. A bit of earthy spiciness, and faint char on the nose. 12.5% abv. With Gouda and mini toasts. One last indulgence before going back to the daily grind. — 5 months ago

Black Saint Peter

Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel 2023

I liked the uncharacteristic subtle sweetness from plum and dark fruits. Add a touch of leather and vanilla, soft tannins, and this one was smooth. Good stuff! — 3 months ago

Bedrock Wine Co.

Old Vine Zinfandel 2023

This continues to drink beautifully, great pizza wine (not drinking high end CA Cabernet w/pizza like @Dave), I expect this will be a go-to pizza wine for me for quite a while!! — 4 months ago

You haven't lived until you've paired the '85 Stags Leap with Hot Pockets.

Vine Hill Ranch

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Spectacular, full-bodied, and intense, yet silky smooth. Drinking well now, but plenty of time left. Dark chocolate, dark cherries, cassis, oregano and other herbs. Decanted for about four hours. — 5 months ago
