Sad day for me. We lost one of the greats today. I met him twice and he never signed my fucking jersey. One of a kind. I’ll miss you Ricky.

Feels so good when the #dodgers get bounced in the first round. Just like last year. #padres #giants #baseball

Just a simple thank you this afternoon to Michael Benedict for his patience, foresight, and just a little brilliance. He and Richard Sanford planted this vyd. Many many great wines the last 50 years. #santaritahills #pinot

This was still surprisingly youthful and we were all amazed at how these old Napa Valley wines continue to bring it 40 plus years later. @BartlettBacchus @jebdunnuck @SuzyQlovesWine

For 80 years old this wine was perfect. Aromas evolved over the course of an hour from iron to mushrooms to oranges to bacon fat. It changed color three times. Wine is weird. #wine #barolo #WWII drinking history.

This is Vika. She was a sommelier at Goodwine, our importer in Ukraine. Her body was found today under the rubble of the destroyed building along with her husband and cat. Vika was 6 months pregnant. Really a dark day 😢

This Field of Dreams game desperately needs Timothy Busfield stopping by the booth periodically to say he doesn’t see a goddamn thing and everyone is fucking crazy.

Beautiful #santaritahills fruit. Cherry cola, raspberries, red licorice, and sunshine. Thanks @BrewerClifton #pinotnoir

2 today from that awful year 2009. At least the grapes fared well that year. @BrewerClifton @BartlettBacchus @SuzyQlovesWine #ermitage #santaritahills

Best Pinot Noir in #napavalley. A consistent burgundy style every year since I first tried the ‘98 in an old timey Kansas City steak house called The Majestic. I still remember that 3 piece jazz band playing downstairs.
How I deal with the world; I listen to music, I read poetry, I cook simple dishes with high quality ingredients, and I drink extraordinary wines. Agreed? #bandol #wine #jimharrison @headandtheheart @BartlettBacchus @wineblogman @SuzyQlovesWine @MadisonMacayTV @andrewbird
