These actually came fat cap trimmed off, and that is how I prefer them. I really don’t like to sear the fat over an open flame.

Any tips on where to get comparable quality bison?

True. I think there are quite a few wines with about 300 bottles per vintage. Duroché's wine is 80 bottles, so it's not even a barrel. That’s a lot of marbles I have never visited a cellar in Burgundy that made less than a barrel. Do they use smaller barriques? I would be afraid of too much new woo...

The 2013 was dumped on the market here in DFW about a year ago. I got a case of mags for $13 a bottle, yes that is right. I told the vendor what they should cost, but they insisted that was the price. Wine from each bottle opened hss been nothing less than stellar. That lot would be something to have.

Bill Tex Landreth

Yikes! That's insane! What possible rationale could they have for that? Our friends live (and teach) in Denton. Will Dallas shops ship/deliver there? It is still considered bootlegging. Chains cannot ship between their own stores in different counties once they have taken possession of any ETOH. Te...

Opened #69 Merlot last night. Lame. Thin and tannic. Not much body. Day 2 not much better. Even at 20 bucks a bottle who cares. Maybe down the road it will get better but not now. Love me some good merlot like Helen Turley’s classic Pahlmeyers, Robert Foley Merlot or Pride but this doesn’t compare....

Crushed an OG No20 FOB last night. Decanted for an hour. No formal note, but the wine is legit. Can't remember what Cam said about winery pricing, but it certainly is worth the freight from de Nogoce. If the synthetic corks hold, I imagine this will be stellar in 10 years.

Whether eaten or not, octopi have it pretty lousy. Most octopus species lose the ability to digest food once they become fertile, and then die of starvation. Some live six months, others two or three years. The giant octopus can live to age five only if it never mates. Talk about getting gypped in ...

Does anyone know if this is a one off for Will, or will he have access to the same fruit going forward? Mine arrive today, going to be tough to layoff them for a while. I got the fruit in 18 & 19. I didn’t make anything in ‘20 due to smoke concerns, so we will see what happens going forward in ...

What year was the Senses Cab?

Also saw these at the Santa Rosa, CA Costco. I was trying to find a decent Bordeaux but this was a bit out of my price range for the evening.

2014 I think

That Hartwell, as well as the 1994 were amazing wines. Indeed, the vines were from Grace Family.

Love skirt steak . Local butcher shop is expensive ($29.95 a pound) but it's always a hit with family and guests. And I hate ribeye. That fat is so gross. I enjoy a good skirt steak too.

Haha. Will be doing the same in a couple of weeks when I am in Chicago for a dinner with friends.

Price increase is most definitely to line the pockets of Bill.

The VA and over the top ETOH and extraction has been the Harlan calling card for over a decade now. The last bottle that I actually enjoyed was a 2004 last year.

Go buy a mixed case of William & Mary.

No. That is Ray Walker's brother's wine.

Ever since the effusive praise of Roy Piper, I have been really eager for this release. Question for anyone familiar with the brand, it looks like I won't have the disposable income until the end of the month (planning on acquiring 2 cases), should I be ok? Will is one of the best in Napa. Reach ou...

Bill Tex Landreth

Brian, thanks for the head’s up tasting. I knew these were going to be good.

I heard the Napa bottling has a somewhat feline streak.

Bill Tex Landreth

Word around the campfire is the Napa bottling is sourced from a single vineyard. I don’t know if Will is sworn to secrecy, but I understand it should provide great value.

In addition to his wines being excellent, Will is a stand up guy and one of the best people to know in Valley.

The world revolves around Merrill and her cats. Her attitude of protect the elites is what will cause her eventual excommunication from her perceived winemaker circle.

IMO, there should be a broad range of reward options targeted to the wine noobs all the way up to the whales that buy cases of wine monthly.

Big fan of the the first release of the Napa and Regusci bottling and there appears to be a new SVD coming out as well. Anybody visited to try? I'll be a buyer most likely as the price points are right and the vintage is stellar.
