Great Merlot there! I have quite a few of those Stag's Leaps that get opened up around here on occasion. That one there is a winery direct one if it's the grey label, good score.

Opened this up tonight, was supposed to be for my 40th birthday but another bottle took its place that night. Great bottle although for some reason I think the 2012 one I had last year was even better than this one although that's like saying which Ferrari is better? Lol.

Be ready! That’s what weekends look like here!
I’m a bit jealous that you can do that on a Wednesday!

Birthday dinner with the boys (since my birthday is during the week...) — my selection(s) for this year. I always pull some gems - every year.

Cheers all!

Beautiful lineup Roger. How was the Quintessa? I’ve been tempted to buy some but haven’t done so yet. Have a happy birthday, my friend!

Thanks my friend. Much appreciated!!

Quintessa is GREAT juice. I highly recommend it. I’d decant or just let it breathe for 45 mins or so — a very silky smooth, seamless wine.

One of my favorites.

let me know what you think.

(Try to find 12s - 13s and 14s are GREAT as well. But 12s are delicious)
