Rieslings are the best.

The right weather for it - so summery today!

Well the signage says it all its just so disheartening buying wine in a place that cares so little.
This cali red was “on sale” breathing now we’ll see never saw it before the selection is so minimal there.
I’m working on a bottle of 2013 Plouzeau Chinon Rive Gauche – home alone and I’d usually just make myself a mixed drink, but looking through this thread and the coolness of the day made me thirsty for red wine. This is a pretty light one, but tasty and it hits the spot.

Was Philly that much warmer than Connecticut today? It was gorgeous out, but definitely jacket weather!

Interesting, they didn’t mention that at the tasting. They poured the Location:OR and the Location:WA at the same tasting. I preferred the Location:OR over the other wines tasted. The best white at the tasting was the Location:Corsica
AFAIK Dave Phinney still owns and makes his Locations label as well as the Orin Swift label, but us no longer working on The Prisoner. He had a contract with the buyers to work with them for a couple of years but I’m pretty sure that time has passed. I could be wrong about that I suppose.
It’s not unusual for a wine shop to theme a tasting around the winemaker, but my experience is that they usually tell the person’s story. Phinney is a bit unusual in his marketing approach in that he brands each of his Orin Swift wines separately, really almost hiding the Orin Swift name and pushing the name of each wine… like Papillon or Machete.
Did the tasting include only Locations and The Prisoner? If so, I’m wondering if he’s also sold Locations.
Lincort Pinot Noir.
A 2013 Wente Riesling. Nice.
