How do I tell if a Cab Franc is bad? Recently opened a 2019 from Davis Estates after enjoying an Austin Hope Cab Sauv (my go to) and the cab franc had a lot of sediment/crystals on the cork, despite being stored properly. The nose on the cab franc almost smelled fishy, not pleasant at all. The palate seemed fine but the smell was so off putting that I poured the wine out.

It it is musty you may have cork taint and you can take it back to the retailer for a refund, who can take it to a distributor. Cork taint only happens on natural cork, so if it is synthetic it would be a different cause

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.
