Herman Story Casual Encounters. I'd check the year, but I am too lazy to walk to the bottle.

You cracked any 12 s yet ?
Now that I live near Napa and Sonoma, where to start? FWIW, I got a case from Imagery Winery the first week I was here. I'm going this weekend, estate recommendations welcome.
What part exactly are you going to? A lot of the best places have limited opening times or you have to call to set up an appointment. And in Napa and Sonoma they have higher tasting fees, so my rule is in these cases is to never pay for mediocre wine.
Though I will admit I have never been to Napa. It was out of my budget before I had a budget.

I live 30 minutes away, probably less. Actually, if I wanted to I could live here and easily commute to work. I don't have a plan on what estate or winery to go to; hence, looking for places to make appointments with. Normally, if you join their wine club then you can taste wine for free, among many other perks. So where are the hidden or in plain-site gems?

PS Napa and Sonoma are right next to each other, while it's a fairly large area it's not something you can't see in a day.

Got a few new wines
Liquid farm white hills - awesome, very chablis like none of that flabby buttery cali chard style
Desparada sackcloth and ashes 12, again awesome, great big fruit bomb with steel backbone
Excited to get a case of Turley and Carlisle, not tried any yet though
At the high end got a six pack og No Girls 2010 & saxum broken stones 11 i know it will be baby killing but im going to have to open a Saxum just to try.
You get anything new ?
Got me a whiskyfestival tomorrow. About a 1000 malts to taste, 500 of them without extra charges over the entrance fee of 30. It's going to be a blast, 4 hours of enjoyment!
Free water, coffee and sandwiches are includedit sounds like a hangover is to be expected lol , have fun !
I got the usual suspects: Denner, Booker, Epoch, Linne Calodo, and Herman Story, but one new one Rhys. Clos Solene, Rasa, and Wilde Farm are on the way. I haven't tried Wilde Farm before.
I've heard excellent reports on Liquid Farm, and I actually just looked at their website this morning. I got only six bottles of Turley this time.

Apple juice. Have been sick for a couple of days. This sucks.
