Cahors Malbec 2012

Dark purple in the glass, slightly clinging color. Full nose of baked plums and graphite (some Merlot in the mix?). Firm tannins introduce a palate of dark fruit, toasted pie crust, and graphite. Long dusty finish with tannins present throughout. A traditional, Old World Cahors, not to be confused with their more fruit forward Vin de France Malbec. Demands rich Mediterranean or similar cuisine. — 8 years ago

Foehn Jurançon Petit Manseng Gros Manseng 2011

Pretty tasty stuff.. this is my 3rd Jurancon dessert wine in 3 days and they're growing on me. Very peachy with some funk on the nose. Palate is cool because it's not too sweet, but has a nice balancing acidity at the end. Peach, pineapple rind, and a bit of nuttiness. That's fun. — 9 years ago

@Sean Herriott It was very interesting to taste the dry jurancon sec beside this wine. Fun stuff and so unique.

Starts off like late be-bop with a great groove ; if you listen to it for a while and pay attention, you realize it's gone full-on fusion, complicated and funky and electric. Do yourself a favor and try wait at least three hours for that last glass (or more). Thanks, @Hardy Wallace ! — 9 years ago

I'm not sure how @Hardy Wallace gets so much flavor and complexity packed into something that is as light and graceful as this. Cranberry, rhubarb, rocks, earth and mushroom. Orange zest. Smoked meat. I need too figure out how to not drink these for a while, to see what they become. — 10 years ago

Banyuls Rimage Grenache Blend 2005

Pickled beet-chocolate-coffee-carmelly aged beef. Raisin liquer. Really dark, treacle-drenched black cherry extract tawny port cola. Interesting '05. You better want a grill full of syrupy carmelized coffee bean. It's wake up time!!! #banyuls — 10 years ago

Cuvée Rubis 1er Cru Brut Rosé Champagne

Acid seemed to be more in play. I was prefer the edge and zip this carried across the palate than previous experience which emphasized a more vinous quality to it. Lovely transition. — 8 years ago

Cuvée Creation 1er Cru Brut Champagne Pinot Noir - Chardonnay Blend

Great tasting tonight. An excellent start with a fantastic bottle of bubbles. Lots of spice from the oak barrels during fermentation. Baking spice and citrus notes come thru nicely. Big finish of tangerine and baking spices. Very elegant. — 8 years ago

Familiar Blanc California White Blend 2014

With everything but the kitchen sink going into this white wine, what you get is a surprise-- a bottle with its own character, even though no grape is predominating. Everything is together with nice acidity and depth. Good as an aperitif or as a food wine. Congrats to Hardy for pulling it off! — 9 years ago

An extra year in the cellar has been kind here. The full feral yet airy breadth of this wine arrives sooner in the decanter (90 minutes, maybe?) and is more of a piece than when this wine was younger. Fruit and savory, complexity and lightness. And a touch of peach. Fuck yeah. Thanks @Rowdy Food @Hardy Wallace ! — 8 years ago

Antle Vineyard Mourvedre

This is a difficult wine for me. One that I go back and forth on...do I really, really love it or do I just flat out need it? Today is the answer is I NEED it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's so damn delicious. After all, @Hardy Wallace did win the '93 Massachusetts Hula Hoop championship so it's pretty clear he can do anything he wants. — 8 years ago

1995 vintage. Disgorged in 2000. Long term stored at chateau. Fruit is playing second fiddle to toasty notes, and roasted almonds. Almost a touch maderized in flavor in a very positive way. Golden color with very controlled bead. — 10 years ago
