Still going strong - now showing same black & blue fruits w/subtle hi-tone note along w/many secondary flavors of minerals, graphite, savory, forest floor and white pepper. Def northern Rhone vibe here, teeth staining, inky brooding & powerfully built, grippy - still can’t believe it’s from Mi — 5 years ago

Interesting to see more wines being made away from the traditional strongholds in the USA.

Bob: indeed - it’s like the proliferation of microbreweries, there is so much good wine being produced in places you don’t realize had that capability. I travel frequently and try to find gems in out of the way places

Grand Mark Methode Champenoise Chardonnay Blend

Made nice Father’s Day mimosas, finished the rest with dinner tonight. A little sweeter than our usual preference, but after hiding in the cellar forgotten for over a decade, turned out really nice. — 5 years ago

Avonlea Vineyard Red Bordeaux Blend

2006 vintage. Just excellent. Mature but w all the stuffing. Still plenty of fruit, integrated tannins. Lively taste. Some sweetness to it that is most appealing. Much better than the off bottle i had a few years ago. — 7 years ago
