Weingut Bernhard Huber

Bienenberg R GG Spätburgunder 2008

German Pinot Night - Huber has his own oak forest which he uses for his barrels - so he does not use American Oak as one of the reviews suggested. Much more fruit than E&M. A lot of folks loved this wine for me too much fruit but still an excellent wine. Orange zest - lime - plenty of tannins. This has 5-10 year left. Green tea - tart apples 🍏 and hint of cherry. Not imported to the US - suitcase Import. — 6 years ago

Southern Belle Precious Syrah 2013

Big old world fruit bomb! Actually a Monastrell/Syrah 50/50 Blend. Loads of intense red and black fruit with elements of vanilla and toffee. Aged in bourbon barrels. Long finish. I actually served this one as a dessert wine because of the BIG fruit. Thanks for this bottle, Bud. — 8 years ago

Solera Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend

A good champagne. Drank kind of… young? Balanced but not graceful, hefty but a little too eager. All of the flavor was BOOM, right up front, and it was more green apple rind than anything. Good - maybe not my thing. — 4 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

9.7

One of the greatest wines I’ve had the privilege of tasting. Cab franc is a favorite of mine and to enjoy a top shelf to CF in the world is a treat...not much green pepper, more beef jerky and soy sauce than vegetal notes. Powerful even after hours of being open. Worthy of smelling for days (violet, dusted blackberries). What a pull from @Mark Flesher ! I just had to feel like a part of the WNH tonight after I saw their wines last night! @Martin G Rivard @Bill Bender @Shawn R @David L — 7 years ago

The nose on this wine was worth a 9.2 alone. I could have sat in the corner huffing the wine for the entire night. Dried cherries, pipe tobacco and earth. One of those noses where you feel like you're transported back to the Chateau and are right in the middle of the vineyard. Wine poured a darker maroon, full to the meniscus. The entry of this wine was rather dense. Middle went to a brambled type of presentation, tar, earth, but still retaining that ever copious cherry. Finish was quite impressive. I will say that this one tasted like it was 5 to 10 years old and could last another 20 years or so. Incredible wine.

It was a good night and definitely jealous of that Cheval vert! That Bara drank rather well and even better than I had remembered. We were definitely there in spirit. Cheers @Martin G Rivard !

The nose is quite exotic for a Bordeaux white with tropical fruits leading the way, supplemented by green apple, fresh cut grass, and citrus blossom. Good tension and volume on the palate with fresh acidity and generous texture. Finishes long and clean.
Outstanding value from a winery of this caliber.

R Collection The Inaugural California Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Like this one more than the Zinfandel . The zif was sweeter. This has a hint of the tannin grape skins. “Ripe black fruits and bittersweet chocolate notes. Smooth texture due to firm fine tannins. Rich plum, cherry and black currant aromas with notes of rhubarb and pepper.” Super good! Might be a favorite? — 6 years ago

R. Pouillon & Fils

Réserve Brut Champagne Blend

Bought this lovely Champagne at a wine shop in the Marais near Village St. Paul in Paris. Asking for a good pairing with Munster, it works very well with the strong cheese. The yeasty flavours of both cheese and champagne are a good match for each other. — 7 years ago

Cuvée Présidence VV Champagne 2002

From Mag. Mature... a hint of apple and sherry but not too much. On the palate broad and slightly lush with settled acidity and decent length. Given this is s mag, it's probably worth checking in on these as their time may soon be up, but for drinking right now- very good — 8 years ago
