Just a beautiful Chenin Blanc filled with flavors of oak, vanilla, cream, pineapple, and tropical fruit. A perfect accompaniment to my spicy Ma Paul Szechuan fish and tofu. What a great value at $34. — 2 days ago

Dead after all these years. The flavor was gone and the wine was completely closed off. It did not open up with air. — 5 days ago

Excellent Großes Gewächs Riesling, packed with flavor. A very complex Riesling having passion fruit, tangerine, pineapple, and pear flavors. Stunning. Will improve with age. — 7 days ago

Lovely Barolo aged just right to be consumed now, and quite a value at $61. Tannins are perfectly smooth and attack is a nice light cherry flavor. The acidity complained about in earlier reviews is gone. Filtration necessary but no decant is needed. — 4 days ago

Excellent deep brooding Shiraz. Perfect for drinking alone and contemplating the meaning of existence. Cranberry, raisin, plum, dried cherry flavors. This wine needs to be opened a long time before consuming: when first opened it is unbalanced and harsh in the finish, but the pH rises with air and the tannins smooth out elegantly. — 6 days ago

Nice American Pinot Noir. While fruity it still had great elegance. Tannins were smooth and rounded. A great value under $35. — 7 days ago

Too expensive for what it offers. Tastes like a good fruity $25 Bordeaux. While it was perfectly fresh after all these years in bottle, this Bordeaux did not and could not benefit from aging. A light and fruity Bordeaux that would be good with comfort food (pizza) but not with meat. — 5 days ago

Delicious yeasty dry Champagne tasting of brioche and apple. The bubbles had just the right amount of Champagne mouthfeel. A great value at $65. — 7 days ago

Citrus flavored Pinot Grigio. Very nice. Delicious choice with fruit based foods like chicken with apricots. — 8 days ago
