Kick-On Ranch Riesling 2021

2021 vintage. This is a special, straight outta SBC effort that only got bottled in the 375ml format. Graham obviously couldn't call it Auslese, so he called it "4USL353."Haha. Total cheat code. Picked up two cases. Phenomenal. 01.29.25. — 4 days ago

Have been at the winery in a huge warehouse where he rented a square. Hard to find. One of the nicest guys ever. And solid winemaking on the whites. The reds still need some work.

Meeresboden Vineyard Grüner Veltliner 2023

2023 vintage. Wanted the intensity of previous vintages tasted but wasn't getting it on the back palate. Still, would hit this if encountering in the wild. 01.29.25. — 4 days ago

'Tri Appellation' Santa Barbara, Monterey, Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2021

Wagner did a nice job with this Pinot. Nice clarity in the glass. Notes of bright cherry, herbal notes, black tea and a ting of vanilla. The finish is more than ample. Maybe the bottle age adds a bit on the back end. Better than its RRV sister. — 25 days ago
