Tasting Notes
I am eager for the springtime weather to be 100% consistent. The little teases we got over the weekend are delightful as all get out, but I should be composing this post outside on the back deck. I should be taking advice from Axl Rose, "Just a little patience."
Talking about patience, the winemaker on this week's podcast is Meg Rulli from Flipturn Cellars (@flipturncellars). I have been following her journey for a few years, and I finally reached out to get her on the podcast. Wow, what an episode and what a journey she has been on. If you are not already subscribed to Weinnotes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, do it now and get notified on Thursday morning when this episode drops.
The blind wine I chose for Meg is unique, just like Meg. Ribbon Ridge Winery (@ribbonridgewinery) did a Walla Walla Syrah and experimented with the closures on this wine. The test was to see if there was a difference in the wine with a screw cap and two different DIAM corks. This 2017 Walla Walla Syrah was gifted to me by Wynn after our interview a couple of years ago. Was there a connection with Wynn's Syrah and Meg? Of course, but you will need to listen or watch the episode to determine the connection.
