Afternoon Delight

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1978

We started the afternoon with the oldest of the lineup. Very well balanced extremely light and good wine. Fruits and wood very active in the wine. Beautiful. Ready for now!!! Don't wait. — 10 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 2001

Worth the wait.Complex, big Rioja that begs for protein. A masculine ideal more on the lines of LdH's Bosconia than Tondonia. A delight! — 10 years ago

Rochioli

Estate Grown Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Bought this one in the Fine city of Fargo on our way to Minot. Unfortunately my delectable app wasn't working so rolled the dice with this one...great summer afternoon wine with meat and cheese. Dry and crisp. Everyone liked it but grandma... — 11 years ago

Morgon Gamay 2014

Should have waited a year. But delicate and juicy life. Feel the strength of Morgon and the delicacy of beau. Cranberry, raspberry, smoked tannins. A delight but I need another. — 11 years ago

Raging (!!) acidity. Tasty and bright and perfect for an unseasonably warm April afternoon. — 13 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2000

For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.

Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career.

Arianna Occhipinti

SP68 Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola Frappato 2013

A delight. Deep with some minerality... tannic but not biting... very drinkable, but not boring at all. Managed to complement octopus with Calabrian chiles just as well as pappardelle with morels in butter sauce. Som. mentioned the fruit's soil had a volcanic ash to it. $70 at Babbo. — 11 years ago
