| That's the wonderful thing about auctions. Many think that the KB's suck, but some of them still go for high prices at auction, although the prices seem to be dropping. | | | |

the home vineyard in 2004 was labeled "San Francisco Bay" which i thought was interesting... i was offered the Home then but not now. looks like somebody paid up big time at auction for an 04 Home vineyard ($241???) wow. i have a couple of Family farms from 04 but i haven't tasted those either.
Wait...how recent was this auction?? I have two bottles of Home Vineyard and from talking with those that have tried them they suck.....major brett....so if I can unload them at over $200/bottle......
Please advise. I've never sold wine at auction, but I'm ready! I also have three Family Farms if those are going for anything decent. Word is the entire vintage is brett city! Chris All i was looking at was the WineBid ttm average auction price on cellartracker. I don't know how accurate that is and i didn't follow it to see when it was. for all i know it was one bottle and one person really wanted it. who knows what the market will really pay for it... | | | |

I've tasted these wines on MANY occasions, in barrel and in bottle.
The 2004 Family Farm has a small bit of Brett in it (nothing serious as far as I'm concerned) The 2004 Home has never exhibited any Brett.
I would question "those who have tried them".

Chris Chris, what TTT said. You might want to try these before proclaiming these "brett city". I don't have a horse in this race but it may be precipitous to judge them this way. That said I have had some with the CO2 and don't care for that in $50 wines (the cost to get them in my door). This has been present in about 1/2 of the wines I've opened. | | | |

| What would CO2 in any price wine bother you? Just give it time in the cellar or time in a decanter and problem gone - not sure what price has to do with it? | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

Maybe it's just in my brain at that point. You're right, price doesn't matter. I don't care for it in $15 wines either. | | | |

| I've been passing for a few releases as I bought one release and the couple of Alesia Syrah Chileno I opened were flawed (my guess is VA) to the point of being undrinkable. I have some Alesia Sonatera Pinot. I guess I should give it a try before I hit delete on the Rhys email. | | | Randy Sloan<br>Match Vineyards | |

| I think that all the Alesia Syrahs are awful. My advice to them would be to just not make a Syrah and concentrate on Pinot. -Dave- | | | |
