Next year, Symphony also will get Ortega and Pinot Noir from that source. Symphony will prove to be an excellent successor to Starling Lane.JohnSchreiner at Goodgroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17936806221874311926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583550777785937008.post-3144709075323255052012-08-24T09:26:38.092-07:002012-08-24T09:26:38.092-07:00LOVELY ENTRY JOHN.

It turned out that Linda and I were at SYMPHONY, for a Cuban Trio Concert "Fuego de Cuba", visiting Lamont and Pat. <br /><br />As we hinted to you earlier, their GEWURST is spendid. Imagine Gewurtz ripening in Victoria: it takes winegrower skill, and fidelity to Terroir, to make a Noble Wine like that. <br /><br />(ok, ok, Gewurtz is not a Noble Vine, strictly speaking, but the wine sure has the FINESSE!)<br /><br />We just tasted the new LEON MILLOT. It certainly has LEGS (literally). Unfortunately I could only get 1/2 a case... and that was the only fault I found with it. <br /><br />Mark my words, Lamont will fill the shoes of John Wrinch, of Starling Lane, whose Foch (with some L.M. spice) remains my favorite Island red: it has moxie!<br /><br />John 'tapped' Lamont and Pat, who will take over his section of Starling Lane vineyard next year, so Linda and I will remain their devoted Fans.<br /><br />PROSIT!...<br /><br />Max&Linda<br />ChateauBeaufort <br />JohnSchreiner at Goodgroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17936806221874311926noreply@blogger.com
