US wine tasting with Peter Bourne
bit of a mixed bag...
kind of liked the stoller...never heard of that before
the petite sirah (sic) was lovely
what really should have been a ripper flight was a bit of a blow off. the clos du val was v.nice though.
Still, outside of Ridge, to find a Zin from the US that lights me up over here in Australia.
love that clos du val...pity it costs so much over here...
