Paul,
Glad to hear you enjoyed the Barnard Griffin. What a coincidence that your guest brought two vintages of the Trust. I look forward to trying the ’08. Cheers!

FYI…I served the Barnard Griffin. Enjoyed tremendously with my smoked turkey. One of my guests brought an ’08 Trust and, oddly, an ’07. The ’07 still held up but my table of knowledgeable wine folks thought the ’08 was good and then some. More of the great fun of wine…differing opinions. Cheers to you!

Paul,
I hope you were able to find some good wines to pair with your Thanksgiving meal. Yes, we only had a single bottle of Trust in this tasting. While those characteristics can sometimes indicate a flawed bottle, I really did not think that was the case here. We had several other knowledgeable wine folks at this dinner and none of us thought that it was flawed, just not a good wine. Cheers!

I found your post to help me research wines for my Thanksgiving guests and our meal. I have doubts at this point that I’ll be able to find any of these wines still I’m hopeful, especially with the Barnard Griffin and Parejas. I know for a fact I will not be able to get the Trust because I visited there recently and it was sold out. I had a good deal of this over the summer and I am curious about your review. Was this a single bottle for your assessment? Pickles? Fish? Glue? I think you had a flawed bottle.

Lia,
Glad to hear you like another Parejas wine. We’ll definitely have to try more of their wines. I just checked their site and they currently have two dry whites, Dos Pinots (Pinot Gris/Pinot Blanc) and Riesling, and a Late Harvest Pinot Gris (dessert wine). Do any of those ring a bell? Cheers!

Hello Wine Peeps! Kyle and I are fans of a Parejas white, but for the life of me I cannot remember the varietal. But Parejas is certainly worth trying more of. We found it through a Thursday night tasting at Picnic where we’ve discovered a lot of new, good wines.
