Seemed like a good chap. Funny, I was just wondering that myself earlier today and checked his profile. He hasn't logged in since 2014. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 20, 2024 Report Posted February 20, 2024 15 hours ago, jlhoots said: Booker 2020 Fracture (extended) - 100% syrah I really like Booker's White. Their Oublie GSM red blend is very good too. I don't even know if I've had the Fracture. Unfortunately, their wines are getting very difficult to obtain here on the east coast. What they send this way is usually grabbed up by the restaurants. I don't understand why wineries allow this as it limits the number of people who can learn about their wines and forces anyone who wants to try them to pay the exorbitant restaurant prices, which prices out many potential drinkers. I hope that Constellation is true to their word and leaves the Jensen family to run the place as they have in the past. I'd hate to see this winery go the way of Meomi. Quote

Agree about exorbitant restaurant prices, but that's for most wines. I belong to their (Booker) wine club, & they ship 6 bottles to me twice a year. The Jensen family seems committed to what they do. You never know. Quote

porcy62 Posted March 20, 2024 Report Posted March 20, 2024 (edited) Lately I have acquired a taste for aromatic whites, traminer and others, that I despised before, I was a super dry guy. About coffee I bought a Jamaican Blue Mountain in a very famous shop in Rome, awfully expensive but dramatically good. Edited March 20, 2024 by porcy62 Quote
