lines of the day – ‘this really does smell like a sheep pooped in your nose’ and ‘I feel like “my tummy’s burning” like Ralph on the Simpsons’

  • Gary, thanks for the kind words! We think you were spot-on with the Rockpile Zin evaluation. Bold yet Balanced, Purity of Fruit whith Classic Structure is what we try to do! If anyone would like more info on this wine or the Rockpile AVA, we put together a cool marketing piece. See Seghesio.com under the “For the trade” then ‘Point of Sale’ the ‘Rockpile piece’. Cool breakdown of Rockpile’s history – not just our wines: http://www.seghesio.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=aY61h9fRr0w%3d&tabid=245

    QoTD: Going to Sis’s house in Havertown, Pa. Going to take a bottle of Lail cab and a yet to be determined Bordeaux. My brother-in-law is a wine freak and will have 3 or 4 more goodies to try. Cheers.

  • Thanks for the Zin show. It’s definitely one of my favorite varietals.

    “Sheep pooped in your knows” – love it.

    QOTD: For the first time in my adult life, my folks are traveling to my house for T-Day. We always explore with the wines at this time of year and I really enjoy it. Plus, we all gel together, so the wine only adds to the fun.

  • The Foxglove sounded like it was going old world based on the barnyard reference, but once you brought out the matches and burned them, it says to me that part of that run had a ‘problem’ and got hit a little heavy with the SO2 trying to save it…
    QOTD: Going to my folks place up on Lake Champlain, that’s been the family and friend gathering point for the last 15 years or so…awesome view of the Green Mountains across the lake in VT. As usual I am on wine detail, and will be bringing a selection of some things purchased via WL, and a bunch of stuff that I’ve made, including a barrel tasting of the 2009 Curico Valley carmenere from grapes shipped north back in May.
