3 ways to show dad you love him:
1. Robert Sinskey comes by his cult status honestly. This venerated California vintner operates a solar-powered winery, runs his tractors with biodiesel from used restaurant oil and has sheep and chickens mow the cover crops all in an effort to produce organic wines that critics praise for their "stunning individuality" and "luxurious elegance." We're offering a pair of half-bottles: 2009 'Carneros' pinot noir and a 2010 pinot blanc ($49.99), a red and white treat that would be savored by any dad.
2. Or give him a bottle of The Glenrothes 1998 ($89.99), a singular single malt that you're not going to find at your corner package store. Of their 16 vintages, 14 have sold out. To date, only 5 Single Casks have been made available, with a bottle of 1966 selling for £1,000 (and you still have to lug it over from the U.K.). Would it be gauche to point out that the handsome round bottle would also add stylish elan to his bar?
3. How about double the amount of an already great thing? This magnum of 2005 Ovello Barbaresco ($149.99) (famous producer, stellar year, drinking beautifully now) is a muscular indulgence, not to mention a perfect reflection of dad's stature.
salute!
