I am a major fan of Bonny Doon, and I was just in Davenport on Sunday. We are having a seriously marine-influenced late spring/early summer (the fog is coming all the way into Solano County this week), so I did not go cycling (my OTHER excuse for being a BD club member), but I enjoyed the wines and the drive along the twisty roads.
Randall I have met a couple of times, and he is as you describe, a live wire. I really like his ethos as well as the wines!

I remember when Bonny Doon's first Ca' del Solo Itanlianesque wines were released. The labels were such an accurate parody of the Vietti label style that I walked by them a couple of times in the wine store before I realized they weren't Vietti wines!
My favorite line in the whole article is "It's like evaluating music based on how loud it's played." That precisely summarizes my opinion of over-oaked fruit bomb wines.
