I almost quit wine completely….I have 6 bottles of LD left, I was almost to tears over the summer not having a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc. I am not a white wine guy, but damn a bottle of that chilled in the summer……man. So good. And I am dwindling on my Serra bottles, down to about 5-6 each of 2012 and 2013 Cab Franc….LD only released 30 cases of Petit Verdot the final year. They didn’t release a PV every year, only when it was plentiful and special. They used the PV as a special something in their better blends, got one of those Petit Verdot bottles left too. It’s like unicorn single cigars, I have a hard time opening them. Actually started purposely buying only cheap wine on sale, that’s where I found Portuguese and Spanish wines to be a pretty good value.
My daughter requested Sheppards pie a couple weeks ago, I opened a bottle of Serra Cab Franc and used it to make the Sheppard’s Pie. Minus 2 glasses of course. Unfortunately the only local place I know of that’s still doing small production great work that isn’t a secret to me is Cricket Hill. I need to get out there and see how Duane and his wife are doing, you would really like them both. Good, friendly, smart people…..nothing like me.
