Went in wondering why I should pay Cal prices for Rhone wines, rather than just buying Rhones. Left with a bunch of Tablas wines, and the answer.

I just don't review that many wines because, frankly, no one cares. And, yes, the Tannat was that good. I didn't get a chance to try his Nebbiolo, and I agree with you, if it is good it's the only CA Nebbiolo worth drinking.

I don't remember trying the tannat (was it that good?), but I thought that Lone Madrone's Nebbiolo was the only one from California I've ever had that was worth drinking.<br /><br />I enjoy the Breggo line up, too.<br /><br />Don't know Skipstone.
