Now available to the public.

The sauvignon blanc is skin fermented. Sounds interesting.

Two pinots, from Bennett Valley and a secret Sonoma Coast vineyard.

There's also a syrah listed, 12.8 percent alcohol, but apparently it's not for sale yet.

Shipping prices are steep, but the wine is reasonably priced.

Can someone please explain to me how to get these wines shipped to New York State. I am not "a licensee".

 

[SteveTimko]

Get a postal mail box in Connecticut.

Very helpful to those of us who live 4 hours from the state.

Uhm, can you ship to Japan, Jim?

Anyway, congrats.

 

[John Roberts]

Congratulations.

Best,

[Yule Kim]

Congratulations Jim!

I just wish my wine budget wasn't so busted right now. Your prices are so reasonable!

 

[Jonathan Loesberg]

I'm happy to see that Jim is finally parting with some of his own wine. I'm persuaded we are watching the beginning of the next cult wine.

Congratulations, Jim.

Best (as you say),

How long until Jim is quoting Parker to piss on DRC or Chave?

 

[Florida Jim]

Steve,
Wash your mouth out with soap.

Joel,
I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Thanks to all.
But my previous offer still goes; come see us,; we'll bring the wine.
Best, Jim

Jim,

What is the story behind the name for the sauvignon blanc, "Isa"?

Congratulations, it must be like seeing a dream come true.

 

[Jay Miller]

Congratulations!

Joel, you can always ship to AZ with free AZ to WA shuttle service on an upcoming trip to the states. ;-)

Jim brought a bottle of the Sauvignon Blanc when we met up in Napa this past July and I liked it. An orange wine that I actually like is a rare thing.

 

[Florida Jim]

Brad,
Let's say it was semi-orange.
I suspect that one of things you don't much care for is the oxidation that many orange wines have.
Mine don't.
Best, Jim
