Hi Alana,

I've become a big fan of Kunde, their amazing quality and commitment to sustainability is impressive. As consumer and a observer of the wine-scene, Kunde is shining example of how it's done right.

I'm embarrassed to say, that I've never heard of Loxton, I'll have to make a point of visiting with them on my next trip.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the nice words, it was a great visit. We had a fun time visiting with Zach, who took a moment out of his day to chat with us. I'll need to update the timeline on the old-vine zin, perhaps the next time I'm in the area, I could see the vineyard site. Thanks again for the invite.

Cheers,

Bill

You picked a good one to review. Kunde has it all, value, style and delicious wines. My other favorite winery near there is Loxton. Did you happen to go there?

Thanks so much for the nice review. It was such a pleasure to have you visit us again and in much better weather! ;)

If you have any questions about the wines or other venues on the property just let us know. We love to read your blog, so keep up the good work.

By the way, the Century Vines from Shaw Vineyard were 126 years old for that 2008 vintage, they are now a whopping 130 years old... and still producing awesome fruit.

Cheers!

Congratulations on your blog. We have seen that you've traveled to Italy to taste wine. See if you stop by La Rioja where you can taste and buy wine.

Going zip-lining was an absolutely fantastic experience!!!
I highly reccommend It!!! Also a visit to Freestone vineyards just off the Bohemian highway is a great visit!!!

I had so much fun writing this post, your great wine really inspired me to not only untwist the cap, but to pop-off about a few of my other favorite hot-button issues. I look forward to seeing you guys soon and giving that barrel fermented Chard a swirl, the Mrs. and I get up that way pretty often.

Cheers!

Glad you got out there to taste the wines Bill, I think that the J. Brix story is one that needs to be told, and they're among the vanguard of new, exciting San Diego-area vintners and wineries doing great things.

2012-05-01T10:46:51.954-07:00

My hope is that I'm wrong! But honestly what does a bottled water company understand about what it takes to make it in the wine business. Even though wine is more than 70% water, the two are as far apart as day and night.

2012-04-30T15:09:55.086-07:00

Ahh, yes the true confessions of a wine blogger, now the world knows, I'm no fan of the No-Oak style, but Tolosa made me think there is some hope for this style of wine.

Cheers!

This sale a real disappointment. I really hope you're wrong about Fiji, but you're most likely not.

2012-04-28T07:13:07.651-07:00

I LOVE that we didn't even know this about you... And yet, you enjoyed this little gem :) We find that many REALLY love this wine when we're out there sharing it with others. We really love our friends at Tolosa - great people, great property, great wine. Cheers!

Superb tips for fine dining etiquette, sometime people hesitate to talk or ask for stuff they need in restaurants and sometime they start over reacting for the stuff that is compromisable. However, i really like your idea of communications with a sommelier.

Hey Tina,

Thanks, I'm a big fan of Paso Robles, I luv the small town feel and "niceness" factor I get from every visit. This city not only uses social media well, but they also know how to leverage it in a way that benefits everyone.

Cheers!
