So this was an interesting accident. I bought this (quickly) on one of those flash sale sites and misread the 2002 vintage as 2012 (oops!). But I was pleasantly surprised. While certainly past its prime it was interesting to try a 14 year old Chardonnay and this one held up. It was slightly sweet but still rich and pretty damn good. Don't get me wrong, while I certainly wouldn't purposely age this so long (to me Kongsgaard chards are pretty close to a 10 in their first 5 years), it was fun to try for sure. — 8 years ago
Couldn't quite wait the year I recommended earlier, oops. Wine had climbed 1/2way up the cork. Still lots of pepper on this one. Good wine. Could wait a little bit longer to open but still good now. — 8 years ago
Oops. Forgot about it for awhile — 8 years ago
Very nice Chianti Classico oops our friends at Montevertine choose to not use the CC description. Bit of a smokey flavor out of the bottle improved as it breathed. Very nice wine. 2011 vintage — 9 years ago
Would drink it every night if I could and be happy. Oops I did. — 9 years ago
This was nice and balanced, even if the apple, lemon, and faint honey flavors were pretty simple (did my putting it in the fridge two months ago--oops--kill it?). Worth a second and fresher try. — 9 years ago
Very sweet! Drank the whole bottle in one sitting... By myself... Oops. — 9 years ago
Another killer value from calatayud. So ripe and packed full of over the top ripe delicious fruit. So easy to drink....oops the bottle is gone — 11 years ago

K so having a WSET 3 tasting club is making me burn through my supplies faster than usual. And burn through their supplies too. Oops for all of us. Now I've tried all of Kokomo's offerings in terms of Zin (although I wish I had been wealthy enough to crack them all open side by side) and I must say Pauline's vineyard=least fave. Rockpile was the best. Timber Crest was in the middle and...to be honest? The least pricy "Dry Creek Valley" is both really excellent and not as pricy as Rockpile Zin. My top two were probably both the least expensive (Dry Creek) and most pricy (Rockpile) so there ya go. Anyway I'm reviewing Rockpile here! Tis purple-ruby in color, on the nose black sweet cherries and chopped vanilla beans plus crushed blackberries. On the tongue: medium acid, low plus tannins, medium body, black cherries and blackberries and vanilla ice cream and the finish...it is medium in length and there is more of everything I mentioned you smell and taste and anyway... Taste both the more generic-in-name-only Dry Creek Valley Kokomo Zin (avail to all) and the Rockpile(I think only club members can get this). And my blind wine tasting club will have more samplings soon that I can't wait to share. — 8 years ago

Welcome my friends to my Wine spot! Dr Todds Wine Bar!
I am visiting family in Los Angeles CA! I had the privalege to explore LA's own San Antonio Winery! One of the oldest Wineries in California and the only one allowed to stay open during the prohabition years. I love the Riboli family wines! As I have tried most of them, the Opaque wines are my favorite. Today I am trying the Malbec 2010 for the first time. It is one of the four options from their Opaque family. These Paso Robles wines are amazing. The cork has a thin ring of wine absorption and is slightly irregular. Its condition is perfect, well its a 2010... The color is very Opaque as the name implies. The legs are very long and slow lasting 7 seconds. The Cab is 9 seconds.
The boquet is not tanic at all ....oops I forgot, tannis are not aromatic. Hum.... true as I have previously been corrected! Let me rephrase. There is no strong sharp alcohol odor you get with some cheap wines. Hell, there is no tanic aroma. That's a Dr. Todd made up term!!!!!!! I like it and Im keeping it. The boquet is that of blackberry and plum. The initial palate is blackberry and chocolate. It has a velvety palate but not buttery. The final palate grabs the edges of the tongue from the tip to the base. There is absolutely no lingering taste. This is amazing. Try this wine. The cab, zen, and petit verdot are also amazing. — 9 years ago
