Same here. And in each car and the rolling soft-side cooler.

I have 2 at home I think. We don;t like to keep too many redundant items like that.

Would love to get an Ah So wine opener and try those out. I don't have (m)any older bottles for those though.
I have an Ah So, and it works well for the older corks. A Durand is even better, but pricey:

Got to try all of these last night. The last bottle may be hard to see; it's a 2016 Vineyard 29 Estate cab.

How did those 2 pinots match up?

They're very different, but both very good. The Evening Land is what you would expect from Rajat Parr (high acid, complexity), but it was a hotter vintage, so there's more fruit. Everyone thought the William Selyem tasted like Thanksgiving: lots of clove, cardamom, cranberry, and darker fruits. I brought home some of each.

The cabs are out of my budget.

Any San Antonio folks near the Total Wine at The Rim? They are showing a 1999 Salon that I need. The thing is, I won't be out that way for a while so I need a little help getting it here.

Opened this tonight. Glad I waited on it. More old world style than what you would normally expect from Paso.

How was the heat on that, was it balanced well?

Very well balanced. Clos Solene is known for making more of an old world style.

15.6% is not very old world in style, unless you mean very modern CdP products... and as a Grenache that might make sense

i drank one, but I gotta admit, I don't really get the hype. Just not that enjoyable for me.

Never had one before, but just got one and plan on drinking today. I'm going in with low expectations. It's something that's meant to be drank right away so not sure how it would handle shipping. It was never meant to be sold, definitely not exported. However it's a trendy tradition that can be marketed so here we are.

We usually have one on release day. In 2018 and 2019 I bought a case and had people over that night. We don't drink much at all during the week, so for us it's a good excuse to have a bottle of wine on a Thursday night.

I will say that the 2020 was better than I remember 2019 being.

Good to see some 2020 wine that's not smoke tainted!

We had this last night. It was a little young, so we'll have the other bottle next year.

Opened this the other night. Pretty damn good, and could go another five years without a problem. Served it with Venison Loin Diane.

Congrats! Also joined the club in 2020 and am looking for an excuse to stock up on some special wines to commemorate. If you need someone to split a case with, I'm your man.

I'm in for that. Where are you? I know houston wine merchant can and will order a case. We have a couple years to figure it out lol.

And I believe 2020 was declared a vintage for most champagne houses....

It was nice. We liked it better than the Myriad Semillon she drank last night.

The winner of the night was the 1964 campo viejo.
