New Wineries I'm Hot To Try....

by TomHill » Sun Dec 07, 2014 11:18 pm

This would include:

Hobson Estate
Eastpoint Cellars
Vintners Path Wnry
Kiarna Vnyds
Val Serena Toscano
Little Lake Cellars
Steeplechase Vnyds
Talaria Vnyds
Houdini Wines
Bricklane Wine Works
Windwhistle Wines
Callister Cllrs
Blakemore Wnry
Cliffside Vnyds
Barrel Hoops Cllrs

Anybody have any experience w/ any of these wines. Should I sign up for their mailing list? Are they highly allocated? And big scores from Parker or Galloni or Laube?? Should I give away my first born son to acquire these wines? Or my girlfriend? Or my cat?

Say whot...no help at all from you folks?? Shocked...I am. I thought you all were cutting edge?? I'm going back to the Squires board.

I got this joke of a catalog from Wine Country Gift Baskets. Based in Fullerton, CA, in the heart of the WineCountry:
WCGB

I started to toss it directly, but, for some reason (like don't have a life) I started to thumb thru it. I saw a whole bunch of wineries I'd never heard of. Holy $hit...a golden opportunity to follow all these wineries from the very start. Why...I could even go out on the WineBoards and brag about it.

After a bit of investigation (thank you, Google), I figured out these are all labels for Houdini Wines:
HoudiniWines

Based in the NapaVlly...so they must be important.Though they also have a Fullerton address where they market....wine country gift baskets.
Have no idea who these folks are. No names...no nuthin. Only have an e-mail: HSPATER@HOUDINIWINES.COM

Anyway...an amusing way to waste 15 minutes of you time...sorta like reading about Maison Ilan, I guess.

Houdini Wines....they sound great. The company is escaping from the contrictions and snobbery and CONFUSION of the modern wine industry!

The only thing that matters is the market niche...and thus the label, the brand, etc.

Now...HOBO wines is EXCELLENT!

Houdini Wines? My cat has a winery? I wondered what he was up to while I was at work all day.
