The Rodney Strong Single Vineyard Program November 3rd In the second year of the single vineyard designate program from Rodney Strong I’ve learned something very important: these wines (two released so far, with a third on the way), while provocative with a come-hither look, are far too young to drink now and are much better on the second day...
