All Good Things
Silver Oak
Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
With a little filet and some cheesy potatoes with ALL kinds of dairy in them. A delightful dinner pairing choice, but also good alone. — 12 years ago
Paul Jaboulet Aîné
La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1983
Really good right now, but not as focused as I would like to make it great. Secondaries, tertiaries all there. Yummy! — 12 years ago
Krug
Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend
It's been a few years since last visiting this icon and midnight on a Sunday seemed like a good idea. #Absolutelyoutstanding and preferred over all of its peers. Opulence in the autolysis department yet enough fruit to balance and keep it focused. Quintessential 'spoil yourself' champagne at the top of the class. If only I could make it a weekly event..TS — 11 years ago
Ridge Vineyards
Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2012
These guys: always solid and 2012 is just an all around good year for CA. Second day drinking was even better. Will be coming back as always. — 11 years ago
Marcel Lapierre
Morgon Gamay 2008
Gamay all day, every day! With some aging on it. Good to drink, still good to keep. — 12 years ago
Château Pavie Macquin
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2001
Pretty aromas of all things forest-like, wrapped in a big red fruit hug. — 11 years ago
Domaine du Pegau
Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005
Quite good, but next to all the other chateauneufs, it was just ok — 11 years ago
Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1971
NYC for my 35th and this was firing on all cylinders. Extremely dark in color, massive nose and the palate showed everything good about classic Latour. This liked and tasted like an 80's wine, so youthful and surprisingly no sediment in the bottle. Easily a top 5 wine this year. — 12 years ago
Folie à Deux
Ménage a Trois California Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012
It's good one! all time favorite. Not full and not bold and not too sweet — 12 years ago

Independent Sommelier/Wine Educator
It needed an hour decant to come around and blow off the barnyard funk. After that, elegance, ruby blue and red soft fruits; blueberries, bright cherries, fresh juicy strawberries, some cooked green bell early on that gradually faded, steeped tea, soft saddlewood & minerality, a touch of easy wet black earth, pebbles. The 88 has all the classic characteristics and elegant finish one comes to expect from Pichon Lalande. Not their best but pretty darn good on Christmas Eve into Christmas. Merry Christmas all!!! — 11 years ago
