2012 Castello Romitorio Il Toro Toscana IGTRed Blend more |
5/6/2024 - klezman wrote: NRLast bottle of this and it was pretty good. Still got a core of red fruit and tasted relatively youthful. I'd hoped it would put on more complexity by now but I don't have another bottle to revisit in 3 more years. |

2018 Tercero CinsaultSanta Barbara County more |
4/30/2024 - klezman wrote: NRDrank over two nights. First night this was relatively uninteresting, although that could also be because it was the third bottle of the evening. Had that perfect Tercero balance, though, with acid that lifts everything. |

2020 Ca'Del Grevino Pinot Noir Estate VineyardsSanta Maria Valley more |
4/30/2024 - klezman wrote: NRThankfully this was more in line with the Grevino Pinot we've enjoyed immensely than their Grenache, which we thought was hot and overdone. Light to medium body, varietally correct Pinot, that was both interesting and crowd pleasing. |

2019 Masottina Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Millesimato Extra Dry Rive Di OglianoGlera more |
4/30/2024 - klezman wrote: NRThis was as before - a slightly off-dry and delicious Prosecco. Not going to win any awards but fits well in the category that includes the Kirkland Champagne. |

4/29/2024 - klezman wrote: NRThis was overtly full of oaky vanilla at first and it took a couple hours for it to come into any sense of balance. Here's hoping this matures nicely. Surprised Garagiste would sell something so devoid of its regional character. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2017 Flying Goat Cellars Pinot Noir Rancho Santa Rosa VineyardSta. Rita Hills more |
4/28/2024 - klezman wrote: NRIn contrast to some other tasting notes I did not find anything in this bottle to quibble with. Fairly classic Pinot from the SRH. Nice balance, good density, and enough earth and complexity to be quite enjoyable, especially at the $20 Garagiste price. |

2020 Sandlands Chenin Blanc Lodimore |
4/27/2024 - klezman wrote: NRDelicious. Citrus, earth, waxy, honey, a hint of funk. |

2018 Ridge Zinfandel Pagani RanchSonoma Valley more |
4/23/2024 - klezman wrote: NRGood stuff at a seder. Plenty of fruit but not over the top. Has the earthiness it should have from the old vines but it's not yet developed the kind of complexity I'll be expecting a few years down the road. |

2017 Tercero Verbiage (Blanc)Santa Barbara County White Rhone Blend more |
4/22/2024 - klezman wrote: NRDrank over two nights. Delicious stuff and hits all the right notes for me. Fruity, waxy, lemon, and solid but not sharp acidity. Good for a white Rhone style blend, imo. |

1999 Château Lestage-SimonHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/26/2024 - klezman wrote: NRThis was a little more tired than the previous bottle but still tasting really nice. Fully mature and likely won't improve, based on this bottle. |
