I've got no kids and no husband this evening. Everyone had plans but me. No need to worry b/c I decided to open this. Needed a little time to open up but after an hour or so it showed its true colors. Loads of dark fruit on the nose but delicate on the palette. Great even for a 2011. Enjoying every glass! 😊👍🍷 — 8 years ago

This shit is cool. a) has a pink glass cork b) a color pink I normally reject in flowers or wines c) Austrian rosé d) slightly fizzy when you pop it #bangbang #winesathome certified would bang again. — 9 years ago

Yer ma drinks this (obvi b/c yer ma values deeply wines of unspeakable balance, the poise of a promise in the year of election, & weatherbeaten/Aragorn-rugged claims to the throne.

Hint of the lambic, touch of the forest. Fit for kings, wicked & brave alike.) #yermadrinksthis — 8 years ago

It's a pretty good bet that if it's Sunday and if it's about that time (you know what time it is!) I am cooking something and popping something decent. I find cooking to be therapeutic - a nice way to wind down the weekend. I had a little sous chef giving me a hand yesterday, which was A. super cute B. good for his confidence and C. actually really helpful!! This Rivers-Marie was a treat. TRB, you are the bomb, seriously - and I'm not just saying that bc you too are a South Carolinian. 2nd glass was immensely better than the first (which was also very very good), and that's not just the wine talkin.. this one will be magical.... #trb #rivers-marie #dumspirospero — 8 years ago

Corked! Why do I love? B/c second bottle was racy and lean with spicy fruit on the nose, cherries on the palate and a long finish. Furthermore, buying wines from stand up guys like @Lyle Fass who credit corked bottles is a refreshing change. Thanks for doing right and keep bringing out gems like this! — 9 years ago

100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in the Cotes des Blancs. This Blanc de Blancs has a lot of weight and lush fruit but there is always a nice acidic edge with Thienot even though they usually allow MLF (exception blocked MLF with 2002 "La Vigne Aux Gamins" b/c 65 year old vines & not enough acidity). And there is always a fresh, clean profile with their wines. Incredible precision & focus while offering lots of stone fruit. — 10 years ago

Day 1: nose = blackstrap molasses
mouth = yucky, b/c the kale salad totally jammed up our taste buds :(
Day 2: nose = choc covered cherries, soy, heat
mouth = fleshed out, sweet/sour cherries, bit of grip, great acid — 10 years ago

Delicious bottle of rosé Champagne. Nice depth from extended time on lees. Hard to take it seriously b/c of its ridiculous Waterford-like bottle, but don't pass this up if given the opportunity. — 9 years ago
