Firestone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Santa Ynez Valley
California, Usa$19.90
2019, early 2020
Sept 2019: Had with lamb kebobs at Sandee Fennel's cottage. Gail & Theo, Shelley & Al joining us (George & Ann after dinner). Agreed all around, lovely cab...smooth, tasty (not sweet like some Cali`s) and great value. Would buy again.

Jan 2021.....really really nice; vibrant, complex, juicy. Not an ounce of bitterness or bite, just smooth and a touch tart.A light to mid-weight wine that went very well with salmon melts. Glad I bought 3. Wish I had bought more than one from 2017. (91+)
Jan 2022....having with cabbage rolls, such an elegant wine....could drink this anytime, anywhere! Wish I could have tried 2016. Keep an eye on future vintages (2018+)

....my recollection is I quite enjoyed it. A pleasant departure from other Italian wines. Dont recall if I drank both, I suspect one was gifted.

1st one consumed sometime in 2017.....really really nice, wished I had bought more.
August 2020....think I had second bottle recently (this year). Was still good and still loved it. Would definitely buy again if a decent vintage.

>1st one was a gift to Ann & George
> had # 2 sometime in 2018 but not really memorable other than it didn't wow me.
> March 2019....had with beef chestnut stew, really enjoyed it, rich and flavourful,
so much so difficult to drink a lot in one sitting....would buy again but maybe only one instead of 3.

Soléna Grand Cuvée Pinot Noir 2014, Willamette Valley
Oregon, Usa$33.95
2018/19
Dec 21....pretty sure I had this sometime in the past 2 years. Pretty sure I really liked it. Empty bottle may have been a 'Keeper', originally on piano, but I may have changed my mind.
