Last Friday night I was lucky to be at Brooklyn Guy's house. A few of us were keeping his toddlers from proper sleep and not wanting to leave, when JR showed up with 2000 Grace Family Vineyards wine. Winemaker on that vintage? Heidi Peterson Barrett and only eleven barrels of wine were produced.
"It's really good," said JR. And then, smoothed his silvery hair back from his forehead. Was that a dare? Was that a tell? DId he wink?
The moment had to be documented.
Okay. Let's go.
This was one of the first Cult wines and what makes it lovely is that all proceeds go to charity.
'Hey, do they put a little brett in there for Parker?' I asked, kind of surprised to find a touch of barnyard. Mr. P. and I have that in common, we both like it. I thought, was this going to have something appealing for me?
If you want to know my notes, you'll have to ask.
Yes, it is from one little acre in Napa, but does that make it special?
The wine is available for about $160. Newer vintages are up around $350.
