Well, you just keep "bumpin'" it, little momma.

I have a love/hate with Barbera...whenever one bottle hits home the next is a total miss. I find myself really loving Langhe nebbiollo a lot more.
We did hot the Spanish wine tasting at Windsor court...the somm is very nice and knowledgable. He has a way of expressing his opinions and inviting comments that works well for a seated tasting. This cult wine, Commando G, was probably the star of the tasting.
Not sure if true, but my connections (may or may not be mafia-related) inform me that he is leaving to become the somm at Marcellos and that the owners of Marcellos have secured a downtown space for a second restaurant which will be French. Take it for what it's worth.

Agreed, he has a way of striking the right tone that is disarming and enlightening.

Very interesting. I still haven't made my way over to Marcellos, but hear good things. I didn't think John would be there very long.
Thanks for the tip!

Been hoping and praying someone would open a no bullshite, old school French bistro/bouchon. Will keep fingers crossed.

Had this recently and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a Merlot but drank like a Cab.

Great thread! Always looking for new wines to try.

Pride Merlot is really great...that is on the short list of wineries for our next trip to Napa.

When things get a little out of hand. 1990 Hermitage!!!
It was a great weekend.

Damn. Just damn.

After hearing about Pride for months, it was nice to finally have a bottle. It lived up to the hype.

TA, you'll love Pride. Their facility is top notch, as you'd imagine. And, the view, well... you're up on Pride Mountain--it's ridiculous.
Their wine club is a really good value, as well. Been members for a while and it gets better each year.
Also, try their Cab Franc. 09 and 12 are both singing right now.

We get a little motion sick...how far up is Pride...and chance you have been to Chappallet and could compare the drives?

2012 Balius from St. Helena region...it was $30 from Martin's and was highly recommended by Cedric. We laid it down for 6 months per his advice. It is likely a floor cab since there weren't that many tannins...though the bottle could have been laid down a bit longer.
The higher alcohol was balanced by the other properties of the wine.
This is a really nice cab at that pricepoint...it drinks like a more expensive bottle for sure.
It was paired with a wedge salad then 30 oz. Porterhouse and broccoli au gratin.

Hey, have some Hermitage why don't you! How was the Chave?
Posted on 4/13/15 at 10:02 am to coolpapaboze
To my taste . . .
1. La Chapelle - luscious
2. Chave - identifiable and treasured rhone funk
3. Guigal - the purest example of rhone style though less interesting than chapelle or chave
4. Chapoutier sizeranne - can't recall without my notes
It was a long weekend.

90 Chave is an absolutely epic wine, one of the best Hermitages ever produced.
