The view at Comstock Wines
We have been visiting Sonoma Valley wine country for more than 15 years, long before AdVINEtures ever existed. And while we’re still a long way from getting to all the wineries in the region, nothing excites us more than a new discovery, which on our most recent trip was Comstock Wines.

2000 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
A wonderfully complex Cab. Funky herbal nose upon opening which was replaced by aromas of blackcurrant, plum, eucalyptus and dusty earth notes once exposed to air in the decanter. Big and smooth with a nice long finish, this wine is showing terrific structure that at 17 years still has plenty of time.
Excellent+

“The richness of life…the textural thread that weaves through every heart, past present and future, fine and illusive, but when the light and my inner calm is just so, I can see and taste droplets of love travelling along the tapestry of human spirit. Imagine drinking from the cup of life!” – Greg Brown, Winemaker, Dreamer, Grape Guardian, Yoga Dude. So says the back of the bottle of the 2007 T-Vine Zinfandel that we shared recently. The T-Vine wines are excellent, but the story is extraordinary. It is a story of a life well lived, of deep and profound love, and of aching sadness.
2002 Lail Vineyards J. Daniel Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon
Dark red, showing some age on the rim, this wine had a stunning aroma from the moment the cork was pulled. Absolutely classic Napa Cab notes including blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry, menthol and vanilla. A big but wonderfully balanced wine that had a smooth mouthfeel and a ridiculously long finish. We think drinking at its peak but no signs of breaking down.
Extraordinary
