With the caveat that I'm normally a bit snarky, but usually not this snarky because different strokes for different folks and all, but I saw elsewhere people raving about a 31 bottle tasting of Sine Qua Non. I just want to state for the record that if I were ever imprisoned and threatened with that, I'm giving up all my friends and every state secret I know.

Oh, come on! The SQN stuff ain't so bad! Really mixes well with Pepsi, or can be used in a pinch as nail polish remover. In fact, as nail polish remover, I give it 99+ points.

About 9-10 years ago, a few of us had I believe the '96 SQN- Twisted and Bent at Dougherty's place. We quickly dubbed it the Twisted and Bent and Hurling In the Bushes.
The scary thing is, the reds are models of restraint and elegance when compared to the whites.

I found one on the list at one of my favorite restaurants for well under retail. With air and the right pairing (wild boar) it wasn't bad. Nice aromatics and not nearly as extracted as widely proclaimed. Not anything I would chase down, especially at the going rates, but tasty. The SQN tasting was a charity event, so I'm glad everyone had a good time.

Feeling sufficiently superior now Brad?
I'm no fan, but I've tasted/drank my fair share of the wines, and there's lots of things that are much more extracted and undrinkable. Granted the SQN Ros belongs in an Absolut advertisement, but the reds are nowhere near horror show category, especially when you consider what else is out there.

SQN does not have any connection with the Napa valley. We've been accused of bottling many wines that are shunned by the denizens of Wine Disorder but SQN is not one of our brands.
Actually with their residual sugar I always thought they were of CLASSIC KANE DESIGN. Easy to identify.

Based on my only experience with an SQN wine (the "Over and Out" Pinot Noir), that is scary indeed.

I believe we had the same one? If so, it was the velvet-painting-of-Elvis-of-pinot-noirs.

Yep, that's the one. Nice description.
