We just got an allocation of No Girls Wines. Christophe Baron is the co-owner and winemaker, this is Walla Walla wine like his Cayuse wines.

We had a bottle or two in the last year and were really impressed. Get yourself on the wait list.

I provided this to go with the cassoulet. It truly did not suck.

Lads, you're letting me down. Last two posts are me, and both Saxums!

This had some funk on it but blew off. No bricking, still powerful black/dark fruit. Cherry twizzler licorice, eucalyptus, nicely resolved tannins, no bricking.

At Booker there's the Cave Lounge. It's a private seating area in the wine caves with a turntable, apparently lots of vinyl to spin, and there's two levels of library tasting. The problem is a minimum of four in your party. I reached out and Mrs. Piob and I are getting comped the big library tasting.

NGL, looking very forward to this trip in March.

Just decanted this for a two hour breather. Cork broke with using my Durand but I managed to get it out clean. No bricking, super dark colour. Sadly, getting some wet dog along with muted fruit. Let's see how she does in two hours.

Well, it was spoilt and ended up down the drain.

🤷‍♂️

Pricing was not bad. $45 for Triple 8 and then $72 each for Tempranillo, Syrah, and Grenache. I got six each of Triple 8 and Grenache.
