Beyond the glaring, flashing “wine marketing” signals, what is the benefit? Temperature is my only/best guess. “No, sir, we don’t have a wine cave…we have an open door wine submarine!”
If you enjoyed is the only real test, obviously, so i wish you joy of it!
That plant or coral design on the front looks eerily familiar. Like a deja vu moment.

It was good, but we were slightly underwhelmed as our expectations were HIGHHow was this? I've been staring at mine in the cellar for a while now

HFD!
Ah! The first bottle of To Kalon we ever tasted was on our first visit to the French Laundry, many years ago. That was a night to remember!

Do you remember the producer?

Beckstoffer, but not Schrader. Early 90's.

Right, what was the label?
Probably on one of my backup disks, but not easy to find. Sorry...
It was when they were first serving their spectacular "Toybox of Tomatoes" appetizer.
When you reach way back in the collection, some are beyond disappointing, like a 2013 white with the tint of a brownish-rose and a flavor like foul vinegar:
But then the next 2013 will come through, terrific even beyond your hopes:
Another bottle might come through mightily, as expected from its origins -- Ridges are always superb:
But afterward, it's all washed away by sheer glory (yes, that is a price from long, long ago, when we lived in DC):
... and my family Cognac, which we discovered when we first visited Cognac. My last name is Larson, but my Danish grandfather's was Larsen, until the know-it-alls at Ellis Island when he immigrated convinced him that the "o" sounded more American:
All in one meal. Somehow, we survived.

Had some people over for a bbq and a swim. My bro is a wine guy so figured I’d dig this one out.

The Guajolote is always a fun treat. Really unique blend that’s Cab Franc heavy.

Not my favorite, though JS gave it a 100
Adding to my ‘want’ list
I always knock off 3 to 4 points from Suckling's ratings. He over rates everything
Should one deduct an ”L” as well then?
Good times over the weekend with friends that came in town.
