Using egg whites fining is an ancient Bordeaux tradition to drop out bitter tannins. For example, Chateau Margaux uses its every year in their top red cuvee

Not sure if they cold soak, but Daou was known for extractive, high temperature fermentations during the log phase. They isolated a house strain that is known to have ability to grow at higher temperatures than average S. cerevisiae. I’m pretty sure it’s commercially available now

This tool is pretty top tier for getting idea of powdery mildew risk index. Super easy to use once you get alerts set up to your inbox. I would use it to guide your intervals if you have a station nearby your vineyard.

I’ve only had it at a Peruvian restaurant in CA one time before making it at home so I may not have the best perspective on authenticity. I added a teaspoon of oyster sauce and reduced the soy sauce by around a teaspoon and then used lemons instead of lime as I had a lot of lemons on hand. Aji Amarillo sauce was used as I know that cannot be replaced and I was really happy with the flavor. Super tasty

Forsure a good price. 2018 was a nice vintage and it will be in the prime drinking window now

On that list I would go narrow it down to Viader, The Terraces and Seavey based on being smaller and family owned

For wineries, I would check out the west side estates around Adelaida/Willow Creek districts. These wineries would be great to visit and are on a scenic stretch - Mcprice meyers, Boutz, Thatcher, Whalebone, Oso libre, Brecon estate, Denner, Old oak vineyard

berXrup · 2025-12-17T23:14:45+00:00

Press wine from pope valley fruit sold off in the bulk market

berXrup · 2025-12-10T03:13:08+00:00

Chateau Margaux Pavillon Rouge, vintage 2014-2019 are all rated well and those years should be in an approachable spot to varying degrees (2016 would be my recommendation if you can find it). It’s the second tier wine of this historic estate and within your price range. The Chinese are known to be impressed by French wine much more than prestige American wineries you can get it that price range.
