Dude is spamming permitted in a blog reply :) Just little nudge to Jason.
You gotta invite me to one of these gigs.

Seems that good vintages for reds in the FL are inferior vintages for rieslings.
Are you guys getting warmer up there, climate change and all that?
I know 09' really sucked for reds for us in PA. We have some optimism for the whites.
What is the consensus for 09' for the 09' FL rieslings?

Jason, How did you guys do in 09' with reds.

Ravines Riesling 2007 – $15 retail. You should give that a shot next time.

My thoughts exactly. And at this level, I like it, but too much more will tip the scales.

Joe, any thoughts on screwcap closures and the resulting ageability? Seems like everyone has a different idea on this.

But on a serious note, I was watching an interview with Heidi Barrett (from Screaming Eagle, right?? jk) and she said that she got her start working in Germany, and that's where she truly learned what "balance" was. She said that the Germans are masters in that regard. When you wrote about the "mystery wine", I think that fact is definitely evident.

Sweet – will be fascinating to see how that develops. Might not be too early for that petrol to come through, so it might not be reduction… though if it's giving some rubber tire action as well that could be an indicator of reductive stuff going on…
