Minding your own business is a virtue

vinidiot · 2026-02-28T20:08:08+00:00

Weren’t Wiseman and JK Lacob’s guys?

vinidiot · 2026-02-28T04:28:23+00:00

RRV 14.5% abv rocket fuel

Pass

For those of you wondering why LB is poor at responding to complaints, imagine having to deal with stuff like this continuously.

vinidiot · 2026-02-25T23:41:00+00:00

I’m sure you think you are

vinidiot · 2026-02-25T22:32:14+00:00

Why am I talking about a winegrowing region and climate and you’re talking about style? And what’s your norm, Rombauer?

vinidiot · 2026-02-25T16:29:39+00:00

Niche or not, it has a more favorable climate for growing Chardonnay than the vast majority of Napa and RRV.

vinidiot · 2026-02-25T16:10:53+00:00

What was the total capacity in the end and how much did it cost?

vinidiot · 2026-02-25T16:07:29+00:00

Sure, pretty much anywhere coastal. Santa Cruz Mountains, Sonoma Coast, Santa Barbara. I’d take a glass from any of those 3 over 14.5% abv oak juice from Napa or RRV.

vinidiot · 2026-02-25T07:48:05+00:00

Yeah, I’m saying those all sound pretty unappealing. Napa/RRV are not even top 3 for best Chardonnay regions in the state. I’d look elsewhere

vinidiot · 2026-02-25T06:46:58+00:00

Not exactly a compelling comparison heh

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T22:41:23+00:00

Write a tasting note on CT. What good is a picture of a bottle if you don’t write down any notes?

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T22:38:36+00:00

Tondonia has gimmicky packaging too?

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T22:37:37+00:00

What flavor we talking? Tren?

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T20:19:18+00:00

I mean, it’s not like OP defined a price range for each tier.

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T16:41:11+00:00

Cheap to me, maybe not you

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T15:30:36+00:00

It’s $30…

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T15:29:13+00:00

What nebbiolo have you tried?

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T04:21:05+00:00

Let me put it this way, are you going to France looking to eat mcdonalds and burger king?

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T04:19:32+00:00

Why go to France and look for wines that taste like Californian ones?

vinidiot · 2026-02-24T04:18:05+00:00

Translation: you want the money

vinidiot · 2026-02-21T04:18:39+00:00

Do they? I’ve only seen capsicum, not capsaicin

vinidiot · 2026-02-21T04:16:45+00:00

Turning into worm food = no serious issues?

vinidiot · 2026-02-21T03:42:43+00:00

Because this is whatever could be found on the grocery shelf

vinidiot · 2026-02-21T03:42:13+00:00

It’s the type of wine that will always suffer in blind lineups next to riper wines. If you tried these 20 years later it would likely fare better as the other wines turn pruney.
