I’ve said before that I think 2021 was the best

I’ve said before that I think 2021 was the best Napa vintage in decades. And now I’m saying this might be the best wine of the vintage. What does it mean to give a wine “10 out of 10” and why does this wine from @futoestate deserve it?

We got a bit of special treatment at @tanziescafe this past weekend thanks to having @chezpim as a dining companion. It was one helluva weekend brunch. I’d highly recommend their prix fixe meal. Book ahead for sure.

This one a wine from of the 20 or so oldest Riesling vineyards in the world. In this case, planted in…. Wait for it… 1900. A special wine from a special place. Delish!

Many have considered Pinot Noir to be New Zealand’s next big thing. But I’m here to say that Chardonnay, so far, has it beat. I tasted 60 or so of the country’s finest bottlings and there are some spectacular examples.

This was a very impressive wine. On the lighter shade of Cerasuolo, and all flinty, salty, citrus, and berry. Definitely modern in its reductive styling but flipping delicious. I’ll buy this bottle if I ever see it again. Thanks to @jasminehirsch and @crusewine for sharing! Nicely done @amorotti1521

Tasted an incredibly impressive portfolio of Mexican wines by @besoimports and @winebow last week in Berkeley. I definitely have been remiss in not getting to Baja yet! Here are a few of the highlights from @monte_xanic @dominiodelasabejas @bodegasfrubio @solarfortun @duomavinos @vinosvseco and more. #mexicanwine #vinosdemexico #valledeguadalupe #vinography #tradetasting

I tried this bottle on release and it was excellent. Now? It’s f*cking phenomenal. This is not your average CA rosé. It’s reduced, saline, umami, herbal, floral, berry and citrus deliciousness with a verve that makes you want to dance around like a muppet. Bravo @hirschvineyards @jasminehirsch #pinkwine #roseallday #kissfromarose #vinography
