November 12, 20196 yr ha! No, Lazy Susan Ranch = one of The Vineyardist labels. Small production Diamond Mountain; Mark Herold is the winemaker. They make 2 cabs, about 500-700 cases.I was on the Merus list back before he sold. Didn’t ever keep up with him or his wines. Merus was excellent.
November 12, 20196 yr Ordered four bottles from Southold Farm & Cellars to see what's new that I like. Stay tuned. All reds.

November 14, 20196 yr We went there, tried and bought based on this thread. This was our last 2014. It was damn good.
November 20, 20196 yr Really need to start posting up all my finds. Nearing the 400 bottle mark.. so about to put a hard stop on buying except wine clubs...4 here in TX - Becker - Reds, Messina Hof - Premium, William & Chris - case of reds..about to switch down to 6 since you can customize your shipment now, and a 3 pack of reds from Ab Astris. Does anyone in the Dallas area go to all the free wine tastings at Pogo's and La Cave.. I have learned so much there and spent a bundle of cash over the past year and half. Pogo's has a ton of tastings coming up over the holidays..including like 15 different producers of champagne. About to head over there right now in fact.

November 21, 20196 yr ive had a few solid deliveries of late. Schrader - RBS, CCS, GIII. Behrens vertical of 2014-2016 Thanksgiving cabernet, Quilceda Creek and Shafer HSS as well as some TD9 for house wine use.

November 26, 20196 yr BummerYep. Luckily it was from a fairly recent purchase and the provenance is guaranteed. This will be going back for credit!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

November 26, 20196 yr Was a big fan of this one. I don’t know if it’s considered to be a good one, but it was the best wine we had in Nola. I think I’ve figured out I like Italian reds the best. Also had a Nebbiolo and Nero d’Avola that were good. What should I try in the 20-50 range?

November 29, 20196 yr We didn’t have a lot of wine drinkers this year (don’t get me started) so a pretty tame lineup. Amapola is a solid GSM though.

I brought wine to our Thanksgiving #2 this evening and was the only one who ended up partaking. I guess they're too good for Tempranillo. Oh well 750ml for me then

November 30, 20196 yr Idk shit about wine but I joined Grape Creek winery club in Fredericksburg yesterday
November 30, 20196 yr These were all fantastic, but i think the 2014 Behrens Thanksgiving cab was the wine of the night in a very tightly grouped lineup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tell me about it. This is her first Chardonnay bottling to my knowledge. It is very young but approachable now. With a little time this wine will be in a great spot!
December 2, 20196 yr Should be a nice week coming up.... Schrader, Aubert, Realm, and Fairchild Stones 2 and 3 all being delivered.
December 2, 20196 yr Went to my brother's for a few days for Thanksgiving. We went through a looot of Nebbiolo.
December 3, 20196 yr Need help for New Years. We had Dom two years ago and it was good, but I want something different. I prefer something towards the middle of the road of sweet / dry. Price up to $200. Thoughts??
