Unfortunately it's true. I posted last year that Milan Maximovich , the
owner and winemaker at Thunder Mountain had died. I posted here because
Milan (under the moniker Milan in Santa Cruz) used to post here in the
late 90s. Very informed and informative posts.

Apparently Milan had been sick for a while, but his daughter and
son-in-law (Jon Cook) had kept up TM's standards last few years. But
after his death I think his widow sold winery, and the winery blew out
all remaining inventory at fire sale prices a few months ago.

I haven't had the 2001, but TM's wines are quite good and ARE built for
age. The '96 Star Ruby needs another few years. I paid $30 (big
discount from list $45) for '96 and frankly would have been satisfied
if I paid $45.
