Tonight’s drop. Will admit I am at the point where my purchasing is all running together.

Seriously classy Aussie Grenache. We’ve had no power since last night so what else is there to do?

@NJE66 yes the Cape is great. We lived on a wine farm which also had its own golf course and several good restaurants. Hard to beat.

@Omega Male
Hm, Steenberg Magna Carta '15 seems doable for me, take a swing at it maybe...

Nice.

I got my Ledge and Fulldraw allocations. Must have been shopping thirsty because I don't remember ordering so much Ledge? Oh well, good problem to have.

Followed by a very classic Napa bottle from a fine producer that no longer exists. This used to sell for $200 at cellar door and K&L now has well-aged verticals from '06 to '09 at $50 - $60. You should, you really should!

White. Need to vary myself, avoiding a scurvy or similar

What did you get from Ledge and Fulldraw- I keep forgetting to stop by Ledge whenever I go to Paso

 

[Omega Male]

Ledge -- James Berry, Adams Ranch and MCA. Fulldraw -- Honey Bunny, Chopping Block and Hard Point.

Syrah tonight.

I picked up five, will try to find some more. A bargain. Belive a score of WA94 points, WS 95.

Not always easy to score a nice pinotage. This 2015 is good though,

I don't even know where to start with SA wines. Taking notes for the future though.
