I know Tom, he actually lives just around the block from me. please do give a call if you are ever in socal. I don't really drink ca wines, mostly barolo and others from that area - going to a Sandrone tasting in 20 minutes - and french, lots of cdp, burgs, etc. I also like some things from spain. the guy in cycling that knows what is what is jonathan vaughters - seems to have a decent budget which is the first step.

Dude, you are drinking twenty-six burgundies in one day? Half glasses?

no way - both events are a formally 1 oz pours but the burg tasting is put on by woodland hills wine @ a country club so it really as much as you want - the cdp tasting is put on by martin weiner who hosts some of the best, and most expensive tastings pretty much anywhere in the country, even most extensive than the burg wine co in ny, I have been to a number of there events. look @ the chamber tasting that is also coming up - the guy is just unreal for wine lovers, some of the events fill up in <1 hr. his pours are a little more than an oz but some people pass on certain wines so there is always lots to choose from @ the end. guess I dont need to wonder why my cycling is going nowhere!

just rolled in...the 2003 Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis was just flat out amazing but the price, well $165 is a lot of coin. Cannubi is one hell of a plot of land. I think I would rather have 3 normal B's for the price

I am not an aficionado, but thought it was Mad Dog 20/20. Richards Wild Irish Rose was also a classic. Plus, you never had to deal with those embarassing moments when you didn't have a corkscrew with you.

With Tbird, Mad Dog, Night Train, et al. what you have is consistent quality. No pesky variations from year to year, no fine print to read, no incomprehensible wine snob psychobabble. What you get is an egalitarian wine, a user friendly wine. An unpretentious wine.

You know those wine tasters don't swallow, they just swish it around and then spit the stuff out.

Talk about classics - how many of those fancy wines have their own song?

That was great. The Tbird theme song was also classic.

I am not worthy. Still, if you're ever out this way, we'll try to find something drinkable.

[Tom Byrnes]

I have been a beneficiary of Kurt's wine choices. He is the Food and Wine expert for our cycling club and always selects the wines and food for our club's annual awards luncheon. The Man knows wine.

At our fast approaching cycling camp in the Santa Ynez Valley, we will be drinking wines (mostly reds) from the local wineries: Foxen, Rusack, Melville, Lucas & Llewellyn. They are all quite nice.

good taste. beside barolo's with a decade on them and rioja with 2 these have to be some of my favorite wines, they are just haunting to me and are unreal good with food or cheese. we have several friends that drink @ this level whenever they drink - I mean I am pulling a $16 rhone the same way they pull a $100+ bottle, must be nice. the guy that puts on the cdp and chamber event is quite a character and knows more about wine then most, he has been doing it for 40+ years - where do you live?

Arlington, VA -- a couple of miles from DC.

And certainly not above a decent Rhone wine at 16 bucks (liking Clos de Caillou's CdR at less than that lately, to tell the truth).

Hi Kurt,

Yeah, I'm heading north in a few days. Our cycling camp starts on Friday. Are you doing the Solvang Century this weekend?

Any suggestions for good local red wines?

Best to you and Joanne.

yup, I am also going up on friday - staying with a bunch of people in some condos near los olivos. only doing the 50, 100 is always 20 too much for me. I would hit all the little tasting rooms in los olivos, it nice and easy - the main tasting room always has some decent stuff. there are some good choices along santa rosa, lafond is nice, owned by sb winery, the newer sanford is pretty amazing, really too bad the guy lost his winery to investors. near lompoc there is palmina, I love steve and crystal and they make some good wines, if you loop back on 246 and head back hit dierberg for sure, very hot stuff. the wine up there is what it is, they are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. my favorite wine has to be clos pepe, wes hagen totally gets how to make wine - they have 28a and sell off most the grapes but they save a small batch for themselves - try and find some if you can, good juice.
