1979 Ridge Zinfandel, San Luis Obispo - Absolutely singing - who says Zins can't age
1975 Burgess Petite Sirah - still plenty of life ahead, kept improving in the glass
1975 Beaulieu Vineyard "Burgundy" - a blend of gamay, pinot, merlot and cabernet, which was interesting but uninspired. A touch over the hill most likely.
Was at Bern's on Saturday in case it wasn't obvious.

Two Aussies.
- 2006 d'Arenberg The Dead Arm Shiraz. First Dead Arm that I have had bottled under screwcap. Showing well, with lots of time ahead.
- 2012 Wynns Black Label Cabernet. Also under screwcap. Also drinking well now, with room for improvement with further age.

I never met him in person being only fb friends but that’s a nice hommage to him

2002 Chartogne-Taillet Champagne Fiacre
How was the Fiacre, WIML? I really like the wines from C-T, but I've never had this one before. I don't believe they bottle it anymore, focusing on individual plots/parcels for their higher-end bottlings now. Based on a quick search, it appears that this consists of a blend from parcels in Chemins de Reims and Orizeaux providing the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, respectively.
fut, loved it. Drinking well. I have one more bottle and will likely consume over the next year or so.

My wife hosted a dinner party Friday and asked me to open some wines:
2018 Doisy Daene sec
2021 Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Blanc
2021 Suavia Soave classico
Last week, 2005 Feliz Callejo RdD Crianza. Second of 2 bottles I bought and this one (nearly opaque, vibrant, fruit in spades, nice undertones) far outshone the first one (tired, faded, barely hanging on). A stark contrast of bottle variation.
2015 Monsanto CCR...I've got a couple of these left.
Dinner with friends, who brought over delicious pork and shiitake shepherds pie,
- 2010 J-L Chave L’Hermitage Blanc, stunning. Period.
- 2005 Albert Bichot Domaine du Pavillon Pommard Clos des Ursulines, a village-level Burgundy that’s deep, silky, highly aromatic. An overachiever. Still fresh.

2010 Muga Prado Enea Gr
2009 Chateau le Bon pasteur
2010 Tondonia Rosado Gr
2019 Marthe Henry Boillot Monatine Bourgogne white
Two from 2013 Laughing Stock Vineyards (Okanagan)
- Blind Trust Red ( full bodied Bordeaux blend)
- Portfolio (like more of a right bank Bordeaux blend)
Firm tannins on both. Nice wines, but after a decade, still a bit young for my taste.
