wines with robert noecker/garco

Thousand Oaks Caberent California 2004...an inexpensive wine that was showing very well for an older vintage. juicy and supple still, not complex by any means...some interesting dust and cherry fruit...supposedly the 06 is what they are actually shipping

Jim Barry The Cover Drive Cab Sauv Australia 2007 stinky feet on the nose, which is often unripe fruit.. vegetal...bright cherry fruit but pretty one dimensional. Barry is a cricket fan many of his wines have cricket terminology as their name

Jim Barry Lodge Hill Shiraz 2007 Clare Valley dark intense purple.. some mint on the nose, ripe juicy fruit.. some grit or texture on the palate... but finishes a little silky.. good compliment to lamb...one of the best wines I have tried from him to be honest/


Deschaux Napolean Brandy...lots of heat from the alcohol..interesting nose of single malt scotch..maybe heather?? I was hoping for a good inexpensive drinking brandy but it is a nice inexpensive cooking brandy...or spiced brandy hot....
