No, but an interior closet (no exterior walls). A few pages back I advised my opinion (a common one around wine country) about how a good interior closet (ground level) in a conditioned space is usually good enough for most wine storage.How did she store it, though? Does she have a cellar?
Bonus!I only found it last week because I wass cleaning out the closet.
A week's aging can make a huge difference in the drinker. Depending on the week.View attachment 187376
Opened the 2nd bottle of this stuff tonight. It tasted a lot more like I would expect. I guess bottle variation is still with us, even in hyper-controlled California.
Either that, or a weeks aging made a difference
I understood PR had several terroir areas .. 3 or maybe 4? Some more cool evening ocean valley like and others more inland with far less evening cooling - ?I have yet to meet a PR cab that really excites me. It is Rhone and Zin terroir, imho.

IMHO, Tablas Creek is by far the most interesting thing going on in PR.
We were at the winery NE of Paso in mid-December. They were tasting and selling the 2015 Hilltop Cab. I bought one and an Arroyo Seco Chardonnay to get my tasting free. We also stopped at Chalone on our way home, a place I'd always wanted to visit, but they did not have tasting when owned by Diageo.View attachment 187376

Unfortunately I have to work, regular punter that I am. Also we now have no snow whatsoever locally. Also that would be way beyond my capacity right now. So no.You reporting to Mistress Wendy for some 100K+ weeks?
