Hey folks. It's Dan.
I started my Substack wine newsletter Eat Drink Cook last year. My Substack covers wine, food, daddy-daughter stories, day in the life nuggets and general just-a-guy-getting-by stuff.
Content is free. Paid subscription = EDC Food & Wine Social Club Membership. Wine tastings, parties and road trips to farms and wineries.

The ‘90s shift to riper darker richer style is a whipping boy for most wine scribes. I’m here to defend it. Plus some observations regarding Premiere Napa Valley 2026, the wine auction for the trade.

Affinity 2014 comes from “La Londe Vineyard” in Coombsville - Robert Craig owned the vineyard at the time. It’s 82% Cabernet Sauvignon with Petite Verdot, Merlot, Malbec and Cab Franc comprising the rest. Ageing: 60% new French oak, 40% once-used. 14.8% alcohol. Deep, rich and structured still, time has polished the edges while the wonderful dark berry/cherry flavors still hold center stage.
