| After a rousing evening of coaching our T-ball little league game:
2002 Harris Estate Treva's Vineyard cabernet. Disappointed by cost, tannins kicking in finally gave wine some substance so I would hold or try a short decant.
2002 Worthy (red meritage). At purchase price ($25), hard to be disappointed and probably a better "drinker".
BTW, T-ball kid's parents ask me how I am so patient, etc. I reply, "nothing a couple glasses of wine can't fix". | | | |

| Summer wine, do not think these are going to be long termers. Agreed. It is also pretty easy to open more than one bottle at a time. We call them "adult joy juice". Only 7.5% alcohol. | | | |

| My sis just accepted the asst. winemaker position there. I have only had one wine from them and enjoyed it.
I had lunch on the dock up at the pond at Toulouse on Sunday, a beautiful day in Anderson Valley.
2005 Halleck Pinot Noir Three Sons - it is bothersome to me when I can drink wines of higher quality at about a third of the price from Europe. | | | |

| 2002 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Cote de Bouguerots - I've had other Fevres, and I was a bit surprised at how oaky this one was. I think I prefer the regular Bougros.
2003 Cuvée du Vatican Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve Sixtine - I thought this might be closed down, but it was open for business and excellent. | |
