I'll even consider buying my one bottle allocation just because I know a bunch of people who don't get it who would like to try it.
Always grateful to try.
I just had the 2009. It's good, but price really is an issue for me.
Sure, though they are a bit farther out. The Rhys vineyards are right in among some of the fanciest homes of Silicon Valley VCs and etc. The Home vineyard is a couple of miles from the highest concentration of venture capital on the planet.originally posted by Sharon Bowman:

Napa might be more analogous to the North Fork, I suppose. Pretty place, formerly bucolic agricultural space, now a fancier exurban scene a couple of hours from the city.
Price is an issue for me, too, though recent Burgundy prices make that comparison less stark. Additionally, I am averse to most mailing list dealios as the commitment needed to stay on those lists often exceeds my willingness to buy. I suppose that I may just be commitment averse...

Good point, but don't forget the Hamptons. (Actually, Channing Daughters and Wöllfer are fairly well regarded.)

The 2009 Skyline was good but I thought the 2008 was much better. I prefer the FF in 2009.

I consulted the notes and it was the 2009. I have fixed the transcription error above.originally posted by slaton:
Was the Rhys FF from 2007 (Jeff's note) or 2009 (Jay's note)?

Poor old California. Costs of production are so high.

"Saddle River PN"
"Falls Church Savagnin"
naw, Falls Church isn't so fancy - McLean or Chevy Chase, maybe.

True, dat.
Separately, I feel that McLean has been paved over since I knew it, hardly room for vineyards.

I'm sure. Have you been back to (or by) BCC any time recently? All virtually unrecognizable to me.
