My pleasure Patrick. I haven’t travelled much in California ...

Generally it has been a layover on the way to Maui with a few exceptions, but what little I saw was gorgeous. So curious now about the Californian wine you find similar to Haut Brion. I’ve had some incredible cult wines from California, but my knowledge of Californian wine is a tiny fraction of what I know of Bordeaux. Bordeaux seems to agree with me ... even the day after a celebration. I guess my body has adjusted to it
I’ve had many amazing Californians, but to be honest never properly aged and with taxes In my jurisdiction the value proposition isn’t there. I remember drinking a 2007 Screaming Eagle a few years ago and thinking I’d be just as happy drinking Ch. Pavie, but I was drinking it way too young. Ridge Monte Bello is always a go to beautiful wine, but again have yet to experience with 20+ years of age.
Best,
