EZ Pass. wallet thanks you.

Bought their PV at the tasting room last August... I remember neither the vintage nor my tasting notes -- both at home. But it was the only bottle of Ty I bought, so I must have liked it.

"Mother’s Day has passed. Father’s Day’s still coming."

Wait...what? Did we time-warp?

Caught a misspell in the description:

See, each year Ty Ca*n*ton produces.....

Neat! Pure PV! The only other pure PV I've seen recently is the Vina Alicia Petit Verdot Cuarzo out of Mendoza, Argentina.

Yes, I am replying to myself. Looking at the Ty website, this was released in Feb 2012, so I likely bought the 2009 vintage, so I have no clue how they did in 2010, but I did enjoy the 2009.

I'm all over this. In for three.

Nice writeup here:

Saw the same at Winespies, I'm in for 2.

It is a blending grape in France

In for one. I'm always a sucker for the Ty Caton.

Looks like this offer was meant for after Mother's day but before Father's day. Maybe WW needed a filler for the poorly selling wine holder....

The write, despite the already pointed out typo, sound really delicious (I think that's the technical term for a tasty wine?) But for me the price is just too high. Given all the people that have Ty on their autobuy list, I would think this should sell out really fast.

That was the previous vintage, the 2009. Thsi wine comes from a little 2 acrew vineyard out behind my parents house on the west side of Sonoma Valley. We got 1.5 tons and only 117 cases. It's a very nice wine.

Yes, Corrado you've probably had this blended with Cabernet. There are very few stand alone Petit Verdots out there. It's a very big, bold wine known for it's color (much like Petite Sirah is)

Ok, I'll bite.. What does "bramble" taste like?

Is this a drink now wine?

Hi Ty!

What's the drinking window on this one? My cellar is filling up with your wines that I'm holding for the right time to drink them (50 bottles of TC at the moment...) Thanks!

Funny thing, we were at a big Sonoma wines tasting last night and kept asking everyone whether anyone had a 100% PV! We had an excellent one - once - at another big tasting event (we can't remember for sure but think it was Darms Lane). In any event, can you describe this a bit more and what is the drinking window on these?

Taking the plunge and ordering my first Ty wine. Psyched!

Ty Caton is an auto-buy for me! Wanted to go after two, but only hit one. I could be kicking myself later, but I have too much juice already. I think I've got a severe case of Wootitis. Luckily though, I haven't broken out in a rash yet!!

I do drink this wine now after decanting for 20-30 minutes. Or you can use something like a venturi or decantus.

Got me beat...I have only 40! I feel like I'm becoming a sub-cellar of Caton, Wellington, and Harvey wines!!!!

PV is a terrific aging grape. It could easily go 10-12 years. But, as usual I would say best to drink within 3-5. As I stated in an earlier post, can drink now with some decanting.

Hi Ty

Enjoyed meeting you when you were in Sarasota. Only have one bottle left from the bottles purchased that night, so I'm in for a taste of PV. Hope all is well, and thanks!

If you develop that Wootitis rash, know that the only known cure is to continue Wooting. Its that serious. Also I hear grapes and therefore wines have great quantities of antioxidents - that should fix up any issues right there!

This sounds odd, but 'bramble' is usually used to signify 'blackberry' or 'raspberry', due the bushes being referred to as brambles, for their thorns.

I hear you - hard to resist any of those...

Based on the fact that you took the time to pop in and your wines are virtually an auto-buy, you talked me into it.

appreciate it! You won't be disappointed.

Thank you. That would explain all the references to bramble pie Sir Google found ;)

I am adding a set of these to my 2009's still in the cellar.

Hey Woot! Got any Rabbit bottle openers? Put em up!

Excellent. We are excited to add to our already large grouping of your wines (we want more Ty's Red) and especially our only 100% PV!

Hmmm ... I was going to jump on this, but they don't ship to our state, so ...

Too bad, too, cuz we've had direct shipping here for about two years. *sigh*

i know this might be a difficult answer to produce but Ty, do you have any info on when these might ship? it's getting painfully close to 80's all the time here and i'm worried it's getting too hot.

also, what food would this pair well with?
