We think it's great that Tom, who has sampled so many wines, has shared his tasting notes with us. Mostly though, since we specialize in County of Santa Barbara Wine and Central Coast Wine, we don't carry a lot of the wines Tom writes about. But we think it is important that you be able to have an idea what they're like in case you are planning to buy some somewhere, or have them in your own collection.
Retail prices are significantly higher.
Don't know where he finds the time to do it all. All of the wines had a very distinct David Coffaro style to them. These wines, for me, were damnably difficult to describe. That's also very much the problem I have in notes on the Ridge wines. Dave's wines have sometimes seemed to have had their varietal character obliterated by his strange blending practices.
