Beaujolais Nouveau Gamay 2015

Forgot I had this but it was still alive and kickin! Shows what happens when an excellent producer makes a Nouveau--this is serious stuff. — 9 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1981

Having failed miserably at our 2015 new years resolution to drink up our aging cellar faster, we're glad we still have some of these around. Shy at first but then becoming fuller in the glass, this was an excellent hamburger wine tonight. With Alex in Oakland 12-17-2015.. — 10 years ago

Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)

Les Clos Cuvée Vielles Vignes Fleurie Gamay 2014

Beautiful nose, rose petal, wet stone, blueberry and tart cherry. Cleaner than many of the low sulfur guys. If foillard is more about low notes, this is high notes... more fruit and less meat. Wonderful texture; I'm a fan. — 9 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2012

It's rare to encounter a Beaujolais that needs decanting but this one absolutely required it. Once it arrived watch out, perfume like aromas for days of red berries, granite minerality, and subtle spices. A top 5 #bojo for me. #kermit #morgon #gamayzing #foillard — 11 years ago

Blended from the 6 sub regions, very different to rest of CO. Quite vibrant, quite ripe, 65% whole bunch but not too tannic, good balanced acidity. Good juicy red fruit, good elegance. — 11 years ago

Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011

At first lots of celery and oak, heavy on the alcohol, but opens up to be fantastic. — 12 years ago

Château Guiot

Cuvée Alex Costières-de-Nîmes Red Rhone Blend 2009

Nice syrah-cab blend. Bell pepper, red fruit, violet(?), earthiness (forest floor/mushroom). Nice, full body with mild tannin and well balanced alcohol. — 13 years ago

Lavender, not violet. The mushroom earthiness of the wine become much more expressive as it breathes. Delicious!

Cuvée Alex Le Rouge Jurassian Imperial Stout

Holy mole! I have never really found an imperial stout that I loved until this little guy. It's sourish too and spicy and lighter bodied than I had expected. — 11 years ago

Macdonald

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Perhaps the best stately young Napa Cabernet I've ever tried from brothers and 3rd gen ToKalon vinetenders/winemakers @Graeme MacDonald & @Alex MacDonald. It's drinking napa history and future, and god damn is it brilliantly delicious. — 11 years ago
