Incantations. Smudge sticks…

Handfuls of coins tossed into the wishing well (aka the drain in our parking lot.)

Whatever we did, it worked.

OnQ is back on the menu! We set the pace with their Tempo, danced with the Adagio, found our Cadence and now it’s time for a bit of Improvisation.

Ok, maybe it helps to simply be friends and neighbors with the world-class winemaker, and one of our guests of honor earlier this week at our Cyber Monday Marathon, Julian Fayard.

On Q was founded by Steve Brady and the brand married his love for ultra-premium wines from Napa Valley’s finest grapes and his passion for world-class music as a semiprofessional trumpet player. These wines have always been massive hits and huge crowd favorites that sell out in hours.

What do you expect when you combine the aforementioned Fayard of Lafite Rothschild, Smith Haut Lafitte, Lail, Dalla Valle, Covert Estate and many more, with 93 points and a market-crushing $70+ OFF?!

Julian’s signature style shines here. Pulsing with gobs of dark black fruit - blackberry, black currants, and mulberries. Busting with toasted walnuts, violets, crushed tobacco, and cocoa nibs, deftly rounded out by a healthy dose of Tahitian vanilla. All are held in terrific balance, with a long linear frame that lays out each component in an orderly fashion. Just a baby but drinking like a champ already!

We said it once, but it bears repeating - On Q always sells out - so claim yours while it’s here…

93 Points – Decanter “On Q, directed by Julien Fayard, presents a balanced 2022 Cabernet that captures the noble character of this Napa variety with ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, and spiced plum fruits layered with dark cacao and subtle hints of bay laurel and tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, it’s framed by finely textured, pixelated tannins that create a refreshing, crisp, and grippy finish.”
