Wow Roy,
Thanks for the photo. I guess it is all in the genes!
Going to Boulder for college is like a climber's dream, I imagine.
Best to you, haven't seen you on Tenaya Beach in quite a few years now..
I still think of that location as the center of the world in some way..

It just don't get any better 'n this, Tarbousier!
Obviously I'm not alone in thinking that whether you're posting a climb down Memory Lane or a hike up to present day, it's all good...and definitely worthy fodder for your admirers to graze upon.
(Besides, I can now steal your wine kinda-sewers description of that bottle you're guzzlin' and make all the Yelpers think I know something about smashed grapes. Lol!)

Recidivism:
: a tendency to relapse into a previous condition or mode of behavior
Golden Gate Park, Panorama Point, Coyote Trail:
2018-4-28 wine notes
Goose Ridge Vineyards , G3, Columbia Valley red wine blend, 2014
14.4%
G3: three generations of winemakers.
Ruby red color.
BlackBerry, plum, black currant, tar, spice, vanilla (from the oak)
Informing grapes best guess: Cab, Merlot, Syrah?
On the palate: presents like an Italian wine. Brisk acidity, well extracted fruit, long finish.
In Washington state grapes mature at cooler temperatures, gaining acidity as opposed to sugar, thus the European continental style.

At least Roy was smart enough to use a rope for his intended. Mine almost called it off when
I refused to get it out of my pack to cross an iced over slab while descending a Cascades peak.
Hey, it wasn’t that bad, there were nubbins poking through the ice!

Glad to see not that much has changed as far as where you and Lisa consider your "Happy Place" to be.

Thanks, Laura (& Hoob & T Hock)!
Though you are spot on about our happy place, I think the correct answer, when asked about the actual locale, would be: our happy place is ... together.

I was waiting for, "still young".?
Maybe not. Some makers are doing it different there so you don't have to wait for 20 years to get that edge a little smoother. What about this one?

Very much so, Wayno.
This was not a case of infanticide!
Definitely ready to drink, and the tannin levels didn't create the sensation of a World War II era half-track careening over the surface of our tongues and likewise accosting the palate. I've made that mistake with Barolo!
The bottle was given to us by a client of Lisa's who will be presenting a vintage sports car at Pebble Beach when it comes around again.
