Blast from the past by one of the Royal Rs of Zinfandel, Rosenblum Cellars. 1991 Brandlin Ranch, Mt Veeder. This bottle still shows lots of fruit, complex notes of spice, coffee, chocolate, menthol, some leafy… instagram.com/p/CDCzh2BpcnZ/…

No outdoor beauty shot for this bottle in 95* heat. But the wine is the beauty. Cobb 2014 Rice-Spivak PN. Riveting, vivid aromas/flavors of blk cherry, blk raspberry, licorice, dry leaf, nut meats. Substantial but… instagram.com/p/CC4fjFrpYIE/…

What a two-fer! Tonight’s Etna Bianco 2007 is leaner, steelier, more youthful than yesterday’s 07 Valentini. Great, but to me a notch less great if only because its electric energy disrupts a sense of wholeness.… instagram.com/p/CCzTGd8phLh/…

Indisputably the best white wine in Italy. Valentini Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, here the 2007. Rich, textured with complex flavors of apricot, ripe lemon, and acidity that reverberates like an echo. Only the honey notes… instagram.com/p/CCwzKH2JH9i/…

39 years ago today, I spilled a precious glass of Bollinger RD 1975 on edvmcc ‘s lap. Silver lining - it couldn’t have been as superb as this 2002 is tonight. Best Champagne I’ve had I many months, nutty, mushroomy,… instagram.com/p/CCo9z5yplbx/…

Homemade Cauliflower crust pizza with Gravner 2003 ‘Anfora’ Ribolla Gialla. Unlike the 2004, the wine has lovely lift & VA is v much under control. Earthy & dried fruit flavors. Torrential rainstorm makes the wine… instagram.com/p/CCmeZ8upU17/…

88 degrees at 4pm for my daily walk, compared to 73 in NYC. A real time example of continental vs maritime climate that wine students & wine teachers can appreciate! 🍷😎#winelife🍷 #suddenlysummer #shelterinplace @… instagram.com/p/CArEOeOp_x0/…

How long can Napa Valley Cab age? This one is 45 yrs old & still alive. Totally tertiary but that doesn’t mean no fruitiness: stewed fruits aromas & flavor with earth, leather, coffee, cedar notes, all very rich.… instagram.com/p/CAMG8eJHbdJ/…

Butcher gave me ground sirloin instead of turkey. Burgers & Bordeaux! This 89 Ch Pougeaux from our cellar is well along but still in process. Classic cedar, with graphite minerality, supple and long, tannin well… instagram.com/p/B_00mFOJOrB/…

I really do love Merlot. 2002 Leonetti is my fave among 10 days of drinking the cellar, PN, Zin mainly. This wine is so supremely even, so measured that it is sheer satisfaction. Nothing ‘exciting’ about it, just… instagram.com/p/B_V9DSmp0Lk/…
