2018 The Mascot at $149 lasted like 30 seconds.
wait what?
Maybe I got the price wrong??


The magnums were priced at $59.
I must have been looking at retail. It went by so fast. LOL


Wait. Magnum Mascots for $59?!


No, my bad, I was confused. Prisoner magnums were $59.

Ok. Maybe not Macdonald or Pott level.

But I have not had too many Pinot Noirs that I loved. So we recently visited Rovers Marie and I got a shipment. And then in my honeymoon I randomly discovered South Africa's Burn Cottage.

Both are the $75 range but I found them very similar. Beautiful Pinot color. Classical pinot flavor profile and incredibly enjoyable.


I would say these will be staples for me. Great value wines.

RM's single vineyard Pinots are great, but their Sonoma coast Pinot is probably the best bang for the buck wine I've ever had.

need to try their Sonoma Coast offering. Been a while since I tried a single vineyard pinot from RM, didn't appeal to me at that time.

The single vineyard bottlings are quite different from each other, so if you like new world pinot at all they likely have something that scratches your itch. Summa is my favorite of theirs, and B. Theriot is a close second. I generally only buy 1-2 from those and 4-5 Sonoma Coast every year.

I am a huge fan of Sonoma Coast pinots that are multi-vineyard blends. Some of the best bang for your buck wines out there. The fluctuations from vineyard to vineyard and producer to producer can definitely be large for the single vineyard pinots of Sonoma.

That's the first visual confirmation I've seen that they even exist.

Burgundy pioneered clones. Most Burgundies consist of several different clones.

Those multi-vineyard blends are likely multi-clonal blends.

Nice little Wednesday




First time I've had the Screaming Eagle. Very, very good. Big and broad. Tobacco, dark fruits, leathery.

Maya is still my all time favorite wine. 2002 is the best I've had

How was the flight? What vintage? And was it better than Maya?

I have 334 bottles to be delivered, so I have more than made up for your shortfall.

How long were a few of yall on Macdonald's waitlist or Roy Piper's?

I found some forum posts from a few years ago saying people have been on for 7-10 years waiting

Macdonald's about 8 years. I'd totally forgotten about it. Haven't met Alex in person, but we've emailed and I've sent him some wine.

Piper, no wait list at all, uncertain there was one. Just emailed him, told him what we're doing wine-wise around here and ordered some wine.

I think MacDonald was about 8 years if you signed up a decade or more ago. If you signed up in the last 5 years or so, I'd be really surprised if your number got called in 8 years. I'd guess at least 15.

*With an asterisk for the possibility that they increase production.

Ver layered, nice amount of tartness. Red fruits, currant, hits roof of the mouth. Reminds me of the best version of a Le Pavots
