I considered that and didn't pull the trigger, you're making me regret it now, really enjoy a good cab franc. This was my 1st year to keep up with the marathon, bought a few, missed out on a few others. I'm a big fan of Wine Spies for trying out some vineyards or picking up value bottles. Just got my 2nd "locker" shipment, nothing I've purchased has been disappointing. Bought from WTSO for a long time and this is a much better model.


I really like BWise or Chappellet Cab Franc. Check them out.

Happy Thursday. My first time trying this Cab from V29. Had their other Cabs. Like it a lot so far. Not as big as estate or Aida. Much better than Cru. Got a 6pack in auction recently for $75 per

Pride makes an excellent one as well if you can find it.

The wife wanted Burgundy tonight. Probably a little early on this one, but I'm a much better drinker than collector.

I drank that in July. Hey, It ain't wine until you drink it!

I'm not a burgundy drinker generally, but I've loved every Gevrey-Chambertin I've had. So far Drouhin and Faiveley have been my favorites. I'll have to check this one out!

We were this close (picture Maxwell Smart doing his "missed to by this much" gesture) from opening a 2003 Montrose tonight but I decided to throw it in the 2025 pile. Went with a 2013 Pott Incubo and a 2013 Maybach instead. Maybach was the star of the night and possibly the year. I'll have to check my notes for my wine of the year candidate. I think an older Las Cases may take the crown but can't remember if that was this year or last.

Had some Pinot gris tonight that was just hanging in the fridge, none of my other whites were chilled down and I wanted something lively and white to go with a shrimp stir fry.

Finished off a bottle of Kokomo Zinfandel too. Very nice approachable Zin if you are a fan of the grape.

Debating what to open for Christmas Eve. We are doing a tri tip roast.

How was the VHR? Saw a few lots come up, but didn't bid.

We ended up opening a Kamen Grenache for our Christmas Eve dinner (did enchiladas today so bubbly was on deck for that, just a regular Roederer that was great).

Cool thing about VHR is actually showing grape yield right there on the label!

You would like it based upon what you post about consuming.

There's a waiting list with Roy but you might be able to call him and see about sliding in. He has some back stock he might sell you and then allow you on the list next year.

Roy also posts a lot of VLogs on his site which, in my option, are excellent and a look behind the curtain of Napa wine making/decisions year after year.

I've known Roy for a long time. Would be glad to make the intro. We were supposed to have dinner with him about two weeks ago but some crazy stuff got in our way. We'll probably see him in Feb.

Very nice, pretty acidic at first but really opened up after a 1 hour decant.

According to a guy on wine berserkers who tasted with Alex recently, the MacDonald waitlist is over 10,000 long now.

And I'll edit to add some pics as well.

Been on the wait list since 2015. Still nada
