And the early reviews are all positive!
Sampled Bin504 in two very interesting settings in the last week.
First test came in the parking lot of Giants Stadium as we tailgated before seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. In less than ideal conditions, including plastic beer cups and a temperature of over 90 degrees -- the Cab/Malbec blend held up beautifully! Guests Rob, Kim, Gary and Jenny were all most kind in their assessments. Most commonly used words were smooth, complex, enjoyable. Oh, and by the way, Bruce kicked ass.
Second tasting was in New Orleans in somewhat better conditions: our home on Governor Nicholls Street, where we very quickly went through three bottles with guests Jon and Dorothy, Carol, Brent, Barri, Ellen, Kim, Lee, Katja -- and later with Steve and Linda, and Bill and Pat.
In these almost ideal condition, the wine showed very well. Nice nose, but even better taste! Feels like the wine is improving dramatically with age.
Thanks to all for their wonderful comments and interest in our process. And a special thanks to our friends at House Red in Forest Park, Il, who saved the day by agreeing to ship a case to New Orleans. A wonderful wine shop.
