I consider Justin’s wines overextracted and too over-the-top for my palate. Then you add PhillipeCombie to the mix…wowza. Thanks, but no thanks. But it’s a sure 100 pts from Monktown.

Haven’t yet tasted the Downstream wines but the A Deux Têtes wines are very good. The Rose’ is perhaps the best I’ve had from CA or anywhere for that matter.
I signed up, but doubt I’ll end up pulling the trigger at anything more than $150/750mL. There are just too many wines in the $100-$150 range that I find it hard to justify spending more money on bottles at this point in my life. Either my palat isn’t refined enough or my wallet isn’t big enough!
Well…I sorta thought WB was all about sharing thoughts and opinions on wine. Didn’t realize this was a members-only thread. Sorry about that.
Indeed, not on the Saxum, or SQN, or Alban, or ScreamingEagle, or Harlan, or Colgin, or Coturri mailing lists. So I shouldn’t comment on those wines.

if it was any semblance of constructive criticism i say bring it on. your sentiment was, ‘I’m afwe, i’ll pass’ which isn’t constructive criticism.
i get the style of wine isn’t for you and i respect your taste-more for me/different strokes etc.
but at least make a milkshake joke or something a little more creative
