2005 Garys 06 Pali Fiddlestix & 05 Sea Smoke Botella

[winoweenie]

These were the startes at the prayer meeting at the club yesterday. Poured in the order listed above and from the comments they were preferred in the same sequence. Noticed on pouring that the Loring is finally getting a light rim. As this was the 1st wine of the day I did form some thots..Nose pure fruit, some spice and a small overlay of barny. The Paali ramped up the intensity but the Botella was the cclear winner. Can't imagine any of these suckers gettin' enny better. My stocks will be getting some hard scrutiny over the next few months. Have a fun week-end. I'll be glued to the telly watching those amazing kids do the impossible. WW ( Forgot to put Loring afore the Garys )

Okay, I'm confused. Loring is the winemaker. Is it from Garys' Vineyard in Santa Lucia Highlands? Isn't Fiddlestix a separate vineyard? (I get confused if Kathy Joseph makes wines under Fiddlehead or Fiddlestix name). And Pali is a venture that utilizes Brian Loring as winemaker I believe.

Brian Loring makes the Garys' PN, and yes, it's SLH. Fiddlestix is Kathy Joseph's vineyard at Fiddlehead Cellars. Loring is no longer Pali's winemaker. Now it's Kenneth Juhasz.

So was WW drinking a wine that combined grapes from Garys' and Fiddlestix? Or more likely, maybe there is a missing comma:
Loring (LWC) Garys', Pali Fiddlestix, and Sea Smoke Botella.
