#Spring Mt AVA

[wine-porn]

Please the Palate

If it seems like I open these wines a lot, it’s true. Guilty as charged. Because they’re GOOD. And, you can afford to. What better two reasons? Realized I hadn’t even touched my 19’s yet. Another stellar year–according to people who rate these things–only graded slightly under yet another VINTAGE OF THE DECADE: 2018. Surprisingly, WS has only rated TWO vintages under 90 in the past 20 years…

Dandy Generation Recap

Ava Mizrahi was the result of an unwanted pregnancy after her mother (Sofia) was assaulted.

Desperate to give her daughter a better childhood then she had, Sofia ran away to Oasis Springs to raise her daughter as a single mother.

For the first 3 years of her life it was just Ava and her mother until Jamal Donnelly entered their life.

She was 6 when they married and 10 when Jamal (aka con artist Jameson Reed) was arrested and they divorced.

The trauma of the divorce created a hard edge in Ava that some might call cold-blooded and made it difficult for her to make and keep friends outside of the snobbish and mean Nancy Landgraab.

While her mother and half-brother coped with the divorce in their own way, Ava poured herself into her education and was eventually asked to tutor a failing student (Kyle Kyleson) who managed to quickly work his way into her heart.

Despite Ava's affinity for distrust, she said 'yes' when he asked her to marry him and they moved to San Sequoia where he grew up.

But they are still young and there is still much they have not worked through.

Other Side Plots...

Ava's mother Sofia remarried her childhood best friend, Nikolas,  the year after Ava and Kyle married. Nikolas is the closest thing to a true father figure Ava has ever had. He was the first person to meet her when she was an infant, gave her treats as a toddler, was her confidant as a child and he was the one she asked to give her away when she got married. As a detective it was Nikolas who learned the truth about Jamal/Jameson and arrested him and it was him who Ava and Thomas would call in emergencies. He was also an unofficial caretaker for Ava's sick biological father, Mathias who passed away shortly after Ava met him.

Ava's uncle Stefan (Sofia's twin brother), currently lives in Mt. Komorebi and is believed to be a caretaker for his mentally ill companion Esteban who was not allowed to fight in the Sulani war due to his 'illness'. The family does not know the full truth which is that Esteban was deemed 'mentally unfit to fight' after telling the recruiters that he and Stefan were in a relationship. Though not legally married in most worlds they have privately preformed an old Salvadoradan marriage ritual and consider themselves eternally bound.

Nancy Landgraab is Ava's closest friend despite their tense relationship. They met in Oasis Springs as children and despite a tense start realized that they were the only ones who could stand one another and to some extent understand each other. Nancy has always had a poor opinion of Kyle causing tension that led to a fist fight and Nancy getting suspended from Copperdale Academy.

Kyle comes from a very close family that shares everything. He lived with his older sister, Jennifer, while attending Copperdale Academy, but continued to keep his parents in San Sequoia informed on his life, including his romance (something Ava was not too happy about). Kyle's dad Evan works for a computer company and has helped Kyle get a job in the company while his mom Glenda is a rather religious recycle disciple.They are very involved in the San Sequoia Community.

Spring Forward

Always excited to try the new releases from this producer, and while the cab and chard are direct-hits, it’s the Riesling that really gets me slobbering in anticipation. No longer an un-sung hero of dry California versions of the variety, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a true wine-dork who isn’t familiar. It’s a pretty small group: with Navarro, Husch, Tatomer and Maidenstoen representing…

Day 51: Conrad --> St. Mary, MT

Ride Group: Ava, Sang, Brian, Spencer, Jer Bear

Miles: 96

It was by far one of the coldest mornings. We woke up to find out that in the middle of the night our bikes blew over from the hurricane winds. People were sleeping in their hammocks and had to deal with that... RIP to my pillow. Sad. We got up an hour early because the pastor told us it would be a long day, and we would probably want to go hike or something once we got there. There was a very cold headwind in the beginning of our ride, but my legs were feeling good. We had some climbing to do, and then it started to warm up. The first water stop had some really nice views of the Tetons and the second, of Glacier’s mountains. We actually made it this far. On our bikes! We spent a good amount of time in the town Browning, took several bathroom breaks. Once we finally got out of there, the views started to come in! Brian and I were climbing buddies and we really pushed ourselves. Before lunch we jumped into a glacial spring... it was chilly. That’s where Spence 4K baptized me. I’m not sure what that means, but it seemed necessary. The views at lunch were incredible, and then we had our big climb, and we killed it. It was so much fun cheering on Spence and Ava, and then Jer and Sang. We made sure we made time for a dance party at the top before bolting down the mountain to see some of the most amazing sights I have ever seen going into St. Mary. Then we arrived at the campground where we hung out by the fire and played Cheers to the Governor. We stargazed and I predicted some horoscopes for Ava and Spencer that I’m sure will come true.

Riesling

One of those wines from the first sniff you’re just like, Come on, man! Absolute perfection in the glass, from the clear, legal-pad glow to the piles of petrol and grassy lychee in the nose. A dustiness coats the diesel, smoothed with banana-peel and citrus so mild it barely registers a vote. Rich and almost oily in bouquet, it still portrays the sort of clairvoyance few wines possess. As is…

[wine-porn]

York Yank

Well, this is pretty gorgeous, NGL. But I will say again–as more and more of these show up on the shelf heavily discounted all over–be cautious about buying gobs anything pre-2000, especially not-straight cab. They’re good, sure, but need to be drank and enjoyed, as most are feeling tired. With that said, I have not ran into the 97’s rumored to be out there, and that could be an outlier. Here we…

[wine-porn]

Heaven-Smithed

This one’s gonna need a bit of a decant, a fact ridiculously obvious from first sniff. Normally–even with young cabs requiring air–I begin formulating my review–or even writing it–from first pop, but allow things to evolve before solidifying my analysis on paper. But this one. Oh boy. Just clamshell-tight. Which seems odd from a vintage WS gave 99 points, because… well… I don’t have to explain…

[wine-porn]

Rise Up

One of those bottles which sit in the cellar SCREAMING at me to open them and I relish–and put off–and relish–and put off–trying the new vintage every time. One of the handful of California producers who GET IT RIGHT year-in and year-out; you just KNOW all your Riesling fantasies are going to come true.

Pale canary, just a shimmer of straw in a crystalline body. Funky drrrty grassiness in the…
