Augsburger Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Mary found this while shopping for furniture. 2008 Pine Ridge Cabernet, a nice balanced blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Petite Verdot,Syrah, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Very approachable after giving it 1-1.5 hours of breathing, what Justin used to be. Would go real well with Shelly, Mike or Al's BBQ. I suspect since the Cabernet grapes in this blend are from Napa, and this winery's more refined blends are from Stags Leap, some of the Cab grapes in this line are sourced from Stags Leap, sure seems that way. So Jeff might like to give this a try since he is rumored to like Stags Leap grape juice.
Voltron Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Gotta get the Parker's and that Forefront looks pretty damn good.

Augsburger Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks Greg, I'll pick up a bottle. There are even a few grapes from the city of my Alma Mater. CS SLO? What would be a reasonable price for the Parker's Barrel finished? My connection has Parker's but his markup seems to be a bit much.
morphsci Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Posted November 11, 2011 ..... What would be a reasonable price for the Parker's Barrel finished? My connection has Parker's but his markup seems to be a bit much. I have seen it for as low as $85 and as high as $120.
Augsburger Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Holy shit! If I bought it here I would have to pay a 100% convenience fee, may need to shop the nets or do some driving this time. Thank you for the info.

Augsburger Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Close, Cal Poly SLO. That's what I meant I just can't spell, and I haven't even started drinking yet. A great school and close to Paso Robles wine country no less. I like it that Colin does wine friendly cooking pics. Edited November 11, 2011 by Augsburger

bhjazz Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 For Dreadhead and toasting his mother-in-law (RIP) Fuck Cancer. Fuck it with scalpel precision. I'll head downstairs and toast that right now.
raffy Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 As mentioned earlier, fuck cancer! Having a dram of Noah's Mill for Chris' mother-in-law right now.
The Monkey Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Rendezvous rye rocks -- Sorry Chris, for your family's loss. I like the Rendezvous rye A LOT. But I felt that it was making a rather sweet Manhattan, so I had an Old Potrero Manhattan (thanks Dan!) earlier. That was tasty.
Hopstretch Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Split a bottle of sauvignon blanc with the wife over lunch at one of the local wine estates. She and the kids have now taken off to a birthday party so I'm sitting at my desk drinking indifferent beer and listening to Mark Knopfler.
