My Wine Tools
Wish List:Soon, like.. this weekend... Franciscan Cabernet 2004, Ferrari Carrano Alexander Valley 2004, Roth 2004, Napa Cellars 2004,
BV Rutherford Napa Valley 2004, Louis Martini Napa Valley 2004...
The list goes on... Assuming I had more to spend than 20-25 dollars per bottle... There is no limit to other amazing wines I could find!
Wish List:Two Hands Shiraz, Grgich Hills Chardonnay, and a number of first or second growth 2005 Bordeaux - not the top flight - something I can afford (sort of).
Wish List:Anything wonderful that I'm not familiar with (and that I can afford!)

Joe is an Information Technology professional working in the San Francisco bay area. A third generation native Californian who was born and raised in the Monterey Bay area, and who now calls San Jose his home with his wife, 10 year old son, two dogs (Rusty and Titan) and Mookie, his 13 year old cat.
While Joe loves a good bottle of wine, you'll never find him trying to impress anyone by what he has learned and continues to learn about the wonderful world of wines.
Joe will be making wine this fall with three good friends, through Crushpad (http://www.crushpadwine.com) in San Francisco: a Northern Rhone style Syrah (Syrah/Viogner blend) using grapes sourced from the White Hawk Vineyard in Santa Barbara County. With recent bud break on the vines, Joe can't wait for harvest in the fall.
What I think...
still a mystery to me.
Santa Barbara, Paso, Santa Lucia (Monterey County), Napa, Sonoma, Lodi ( I need to get up to Washington and Oregon, and EU for that matter).
Popularized Pinot and the AVA in particular, but I think a lot of not so great Pinot hit the market to capitalize on the surge in attention and rise in Pinot sales.
E. Guigal Cote Rotie La Mouline,
is that I can't drink it as often as I'd like. :-)
Someone who goes on and on and never seems to say if they actually like the wine beyond sniffing, swirling, tasting and spitting.
Northern Rhone, France.

hrmmm...I'll tell you when I have tasted more. :-)
2003 Rene Rostaing Cote Rotie La Landonne. I tasted this wine recently and it was absolutely, and without question, the best wine I have ever tasted - complex structure, bouquet and finish with the most significant earthy, mineral flavor of the regional terroir throughout. Just amazing.
I don't have a favorite
