Rise to a few comments.Think past the old last put mother there. games destruction with blogs.
Yr. Mst Hmbl & Obct Svt was dinner with Chris Sarah Phelps vineyards from a few weeks back.
First, a shout out to V Eddie's wonderful meal. Service is amazing, very good food. Bravo!
Now, there may be no ????? Chris ring a bell with you, but, it is! This man says the chopsticks as winemaker is an understatement. Serious. You hear of a Petros? Yes, that one.He worked there. His teacher was Christian Moueix, Yes, that one small place he spent a decade called Dominus.Yes, that one. After that, he spent another ten years working with Chuck Wagner, Yes this one, at Caymus, yes it is. Oh, him the chopsticks, lamb chops for dinner.
I think it speaks to his ability. Now, to answer the second question, Joseph Phelps is a twelve-year-old nephew. This is the closest in Alaska is receiving one.
I'm worried a little before dinner.See, this man is the King of the Hill, not the same one, for winemakers. Does it mean to be a boor self absorbed over-bearing? is it going to be the district Mr. ...??
Nahhhhh ... ... jokes begin about the same moment we sit.The waiter was initially target, but to his credit he handled it gracefully. Chris easy talk. We seem to hit it nicely. A little awkward at first few minutes went by quickly
Grigio tour is good, very good for California. Fat, on the basis of ripe (from Napa Valley fruit, Chris explained) is overlayed with the Nice minerally Santa Barbara balance from the fruit. Quite a decent material.I loved him about as I love Grigio tour.
Marlowe is very good.Yes, you heard those words AWG play about California Merlot.Clearly, this is Chris Bordeaux heritage and training who guide him here. If more people this Merlot Napa, well, there may be a market for it again.
Access Chris Chen style, winemaking, many very knowledgable, but ... eager to learn and explore more.Terroir is very involved, of course, did not want to treat the wine to be something it is not.This guy is a wine Maker for certain wine type.
Now, another dilemma was that I am not a huge fan of Alexis Sarah days of magic.Syrah just doesn't play with taxi, Marlowe. Chris, fortunately, mimics the Syrah, Alexis 2007 I had a very nice was riff California on Bordeaux.Typical cherry tones, but a good depth jammy, Ph balance, not like licking. of internal price above ??????? over oak barrel of Frrench! Bravo! nice wine.
At the end of the evening, was transferred to the chat and off of wine, we had a great time. Unfortunately, the road warrior's schedule began to take its toll, I could see the Chris fade. without worries. I loved you ever minute of the evening.
Phelps Chris I hang with you at any time, any where.Big talent, gentleman of the humble, funny, open personality.
Great wine good peeps.

Hey, Rob!
Wow, thanks to the very words on our complementary wines Sarah and your words about me as well.
Evening at Eddie V went too fast, and Yes, people are inclined to get a little tired on the road, but it was a memorable evening.
Yes, I am impressed with your questions on the same night and by your wine descriptions, but I was shocked when I saw your memory! I was struck by the fact that you didn't take notes, impressed the article you put together a few weeks later. thank you for your own observations ?????????, acute, your willingness to learn and to have such a nice guy. also, special thanks for accepting our invitation for dinner, given that just lost his mother and your sister – get my condolences stands on this count.
I hope to see you sometime, Oakville or back to Austin.
All the best of Napa Valley,
Chris
