Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1990

Birthday dinner for a '77 and '90 tonight. Celebrated at Addison and indulged in the chef's choice menu. I'm not sure how many courses we had--12, 13, 14??--but it was the single most foundation shaking culinary experience I've ever experienced. If you are ever in Del Mar do yourself a favor and dive in mouth and feet first! The Martha's was full of sumptuous fruit, dusty tannins and fun funk. None of the tell tale eucalyptus or menthol but a very fun treat. — 8 years ago

Albatross Ridge

Addison Rosé 2013

2013 Albatross Ridge Estate Chardonnay. Wowza! Balanced, beautiful - amazingly preserved acidity, zest -complemented by quince and lemon curd finishing w/ mineral tones. Elegant, complex layers.... might guess young St. Aubin in a blind. — 8 years ago

Domaine du Jaugaret

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

I can't believe I didn't rate this or write it up at the time. A suggestion from Rory Pugh, the sommelier at the Grand Del Mar (Fairmont) in San Diego. I forget if we were at Amaya or Addison. Regardless, this was a great suggestion by Mr. Pugh and an eye-opener. Went great with our entrees, which I'm sure were meat-centric. Had it again in Boston at Craigie on Main many months later. This is a terrific Bordeaux. — 10 years ago

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clairette Grenache Blanc 2005

Oh man what a special wine. Had to finish a great food and wine trip strong and this rare Rayas blanc from the fantastic list at Addison did not disappoint. Drinking at its apogee, it’s rich, wide open and firing on all cylinders with an attractive waxy texture and layered complexity.

Takes a turn to magic town after 2 hours open. It is highly focused with great power, structure, balanced acidity and tremendous depth. Torched pineapple, melon, melted butter, minerals and drizzled honey. There is superb concentration and midpalate intensity leading to a seamless transition to its exceptionally long finish that just won’t dissipate. Grateful to have snagged the last one! ❤️

Caldwell Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990

Surprise blockbuster WOTN. Layers of rich silky fruit, spice box, cherry tobacco. This winery was one of the first to get me engaged with wine in the mid 90's. The old crimson basic label still holds a special place with me. This brought some wine epiphany memories rushing back. I had forgotten this old friend a little but the reunion was sweet. The new somm at Addison was effusive. Respect. — 8 years ago

I'd assume so, we only have one in my neck of the woods. But Addison's on my bucket list of where I'd like to take my career so we'll see where the tasting menu game leads me with experience and study haha.

The wine list is 128 pages or something like that @Chris Parrino and it's spectacular but appears to carry a x4 markup. I brought in all the wine but the Dauvissat. Corkage is $75 but they didn't charge for the Climens in .375. The service, setting and style is beyond compare. All delivery and removal of items is synchronized with each guest having their own server/runner. The chef's menu was exquisite and went on forever. It was fancy but not stuffy and a food and wine lovers dream. I'll do it again without a doubt. The wine director worked for Suckling and he had some fun stories. I think it would be a great place to take your talents.

@Bill Bender thanks for filling me in on that. lol I help run a 2 page wine list, long road ahead. But my sister restaurant is relais and Chateau like them. If you ever travel and want to do eat somewhere other than Michelin that's "recognized", highly recommend R&L website for a trip. It's recognized worldwide and not in major cities only.
