If that ends up being good all the better. Cause i looked it up should be a good wine.
My family is mostly italian, so a lot of preference towards italian wines, but i didnt get any of the italian so yeah, might be why i prefer french wines and get dirty looks from the italian members of the family when i buy wines that arent italian.
lol
Seems like it’s been eons since I ordered my 2015 Bordeaux futures, but they’re finally here. Did pretty good on most working off of young barrel tastings, so-so on a couple. Right to left, Lynch-Bages magnum, Baron de Pichon-Longueville magnum, d’Armailhac magnum, Tour Saint Christophe 3L, Giscours, Malescot St. Exupery, Brune-Cantenac, D’Issan, Bellevue, Du Tertre, and a case of Tour Saint Christophe. Pays to have a buddy who owns two big wine stores, Christmas in August!!!
Go big or go home!
Just tryin to be like Mike!!! LOL!!
I see your Bordeaux futures and raise you 3 cases of WA State futures! (too hot to ship)

OK, I’ll see your WA States, and raise you 4-1/2 cases of Turley (assuming I get my wishes on the Petite Syrah)!!
Might have a few of these laying down already plus a few more just waiting for the weather to cool down a bit more in order to ship.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
My first arrival of the season, 2016 Venge Silencieux, sitting in the rack to be entered into CellarTracker, tagged, and shelved. No RP ratings yet, but it’s normally pretty good. 13 was 95, 14 was 94, 15 was a disappointing 91, hoping 16 turns out to be a good year.
You order through the winery or retailer (online or local)?
Order through Venge. We've visited there twice, really nice folks, pretty laid back and beautiful setting. Their wine is always quite good, and on the lower end of Napa price points if you look for the right wines. They do sell some wallet busters as well, but I'm a pretty big fan of the Silencieux, which is decently priced.
Just received the Aonair 2016’s. A small winery located in the southeastern foothills of Howell Mountain, the owner and winemaker is Grant Long, Jr., he and his wife operate the winery as well as a private cottage. Beautiful little place overlooking the valley vineyards below, pretty steep land with challenging growing conditions, the wines are really enjoyable. The Mountains Reserve is a 59 barrel production, the Cabernet Reserve is 49 barrels.
Just got the fall delivery from Long Shadows, 2015 Chester Kidder and Pirouette. These wines have been consistently fabulous, and are pretty well priced for the quality.
For those of you who pay attention to numbers and blends:
2015 Pirouette
65% Cab, 21% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec
15.1% ABV
pH 3.83 TA .58
2015 Chester Kidder

pH 3.77 TA .57
