Above Ground Winery

Bollinger

La Grande Année Brut Champagne 2004

As far as big houses go, always been a fan of the special cuvée. This is a cut above - lots and lots of biscuit and toast, but very well integrated, bit of dried apricot and a slight tinge of bitter oxidation rounding out this one - fantastic sparkler. — 11 years ago

This had its ups and downs. Graphite, garrigue, olive tapenade, menthol.

Bodega Navarro Correas

Colección Privada Mendoza Malbec 2011

Very tasty! As Lloyd put it... "It's a step above our wine in a box." :) — 13 years ago

Le Vieux Pin

Petit Rouge Red Blend

Merlot with a dash of Syrah, this wine gives you red cherries and dusty blackberries with a sprinkling of pink peppercorns. Punches above its weight class.

Bogle Family Vineyards

California Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Bogle winemakers have crafted an expressive example of this classic varietal. Richly extracted cherry and cassis arrest the senses, holding captive on both the nose and the palate. Swiftly followed by black pepper and black olive, the supple mouthfeel fills out this full-bodied wine. Spicy American oak heightens the dense fruit, finishing with wisps of ground pepper and stellar tannins.

This well-balanced red wine can be savored with a variety of meat dishes, rich sauces or aged cheeses. Try a rib eye with blue cheese butter.

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

83 vintage was showing strong tannin still... Lovely wine, everything there but definitely in to secondary flavour characteristics. Even this far back Pontet-Canet was punching above it's 5th growth status. #mtlwinethrowdown — 12 years ago
