Because, it's Saturday. And we can. Enjoying more after being open for several hours and a few degrees warmer. Vive La France! — 10 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990

Breaking out a special bottle for the 4th of July. 25 years old and still a beautiful wine. Don't wait any longer though on the 1990.. drink asap. — 11 years ago

Shafer Vineyards

25 Years Hillside Select Stag Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

For a luxury Napa blue chip, it's always a really solid wine. At least it doesn't take on that wet dog smell like so many of the others. Talkin' hyper-expensive ones too. — 12 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1990

Good for a 25 year old cab. Defiantly will wait to release on newer vintages — 11 years ago

Saint Clair Family Estate

Pioneer Block 3 - 43 Degrees Sauvignon Blanc Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Pale straw colour with hints of green apple. A bouquet of tropical fruits with some herbaceousness and again that green apple edge. Juicy lemon, melon and grapefruit flavours with a light mineral edge and perhaps some dry herbs on the finish. Not overly acidic and although initially quite concentrated it opened up quite quickly. Worth noting that the vineyard's tasting notes advise drinking it within the first 2 years of release. Overall a good value, if atypical, Marlborough (which we found in Costco) though alas not at all to my wife's taste! — 11 years ago

Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2006

Over delivering. Drinks like a Reserva, and a steal at $25. Leathery fruit and creamy silkiness. Long earthy finish. Evolving constantly. Showing wonderfully, drink up! — 11 years ago

Vigna Asinone 25 Vendemmia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese 2007

Not sure what the "experts" are talking about, because this vino nobile is off the hook. Incredible nose of camphor, menthol, and tart berries that emerged with more time in the glass, this is a textbook example of a vino nobile, which I have always viewed as a hypothetical hybrid between a chianti classico and a brunello di montalcino. A terrific wine that is just starting to emerge. Leave it for a couple of years, decant, and enjoy! — 11 years ago

This wine was so fantastic that we went for a second bottle immediately, even with many other possibilities available.

We went back again last night and had another bottle with an amazing cheese plate.
