Cool show but crazy expensive bottle- too rich for me. QOTD: I have to pass out of ignorance.

My hands are amazing! Great episode. I had a dream about this episode a week before I watched it. It was a good day to die. I’ll have to see if some of these wines are available in my local shop. They seem interesting but im still on the hat about a $70 tag or so. QOTD: I couldnt tell you if you tied me down and tossed necks on me.

I do love me a good Napa cab. But for my palette and wallet, they cost 2-4X more than they’re worth. Good thing Napa has such a strong brand, cuz so many areas of the world are killing Napa wrt value.

So many that I can’t even come up with an answer as I have bought a dozen that I liked from all over Spain. I think the $70 price point is not too much for the Napa Cab market but I have never had any of the Baconbrook wines yet. I will.

oscar falcón lara:

A wine that’s represented by the monastrell grape is not the same as one represented by the cabernet sauvignon grape. While I am a huge fan of the jumilla valley in spain. You would be comparing apples to oranges here.

That’s cool. I’m not offended. I’ve enjoyed the discussion. I’m all for small producers who make wines that not only take advantage of nature, but also express their own creativity. These are always the wines with the most character and when they are on song there are none better. But I would always be wary of paying high prices for a new wine from such young vines. Having said that, the next time I’m in the US I will seek out a Match wine. Randy Sloan seems like a great and genuine guy and I’ll check out his the website.
