Curious, what are your thoughts on Realm The Bard? I think it’s fantastic. I’m trying to find a bottle of realm the absurd. I agree with you Quintessa is fantastic.

Friends, I was recommended this by a good friend who happens to be a seasoned sommelier, extremely surprised to hear this from him but swears as the best value wine out there right now( $12-$14 a bottle). I tried it last weekend and will be picking up a case. Make sure you do the Cab and not the Merlot. Enjoy!!!

Excellent QPR, I paid $10 at Total Wine.

Very smooth and easy to drink at 14.5%. Love the hint of smoke and blueberry pie in the finish. Impressive juice at $10.

A wonderful Pinot Noir that's been a frequent choice lately. There's the added bonus that I can make the dad joke: "I bought a bunch of flowers for my wife".

My local Costco had the 2014 Sassicaia for $149. They had 14 in stock. Now they have zero. =)

Flowers is a solid choice. Affiliated with Quintessa if I remember correctly.

Such a fantastic wine. I have a case of both the 2015 and 2016 brewing away. Many years to go....

Prices have climbed higher after WA gave the 2016 100 points. Time in bottle will really tell.

For a table plonk, try their Guidalberto. The 2016 is actually a decent drinker now but will do even better after a couple more years.

TSG making a comeback.

Really under rated producer, big fan of Jarvis, great property too, lovely visitors center and tours of their man made caves. Highly recommend a visit for anyone going to Napa.

You guys are making me thirsty! Maybe next year I'll go with the wife to Napa. It's a dream to eat at The French Laundry.

Another nice wine from the cellar. Really good at 12 years old, but I would give the remaining 2 bottle’s a few more years.
