Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir 2016

Very nice Sancerre! Light but flavorful; dry and minerally. Bought it for Maisie’s lunchtime party. — 9 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 1978

Not bad for $11.97! Excellent with roasted tomato and braised bacon pasta at the Chez Benzique Oakland pop-up. — 10 years ago

We should probably have drunk this twenty years ago, but the wine is still having a respectable old age (hope I will be able to say the same)! We bought this after drinking an earlier vintage of the same wine in Florence our first trip to Italy, in 1978, when the grapes were still on the vine....

Guarda Cabernet Franc

Tart red fruit aromas of cherry and underripe blackberry. A bit of leather on the nose. Medium tannin and medium body. On the palate, green bell pepper, tobacco, and black cherry — 11 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 11 years ago

Love this wine! Fruity no spice yet a bit rustic — 10 years ago

Epic Brewing

Big Bad Baptist Exponential Series Imperial Stout 2016

Pours a thick dark black with almost no head. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, molasses, and bourbon all playing nicely with each other with no one flavor overpowering the others. A very nice barrel aged stout. — 10 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Dark fruits, dusty tannins, lively and focused on the palate. Not bad for 38 years young. — 10 years ago

Henry Marionnet (Domaine de la Charmoise)

Provignage Romorantin 2005

Smashing wine. Comparable to aged Chenins like those from Joly but with a gritty, gripping quality that can only be a sign of the vines' age. The 2005 consumed tonight had another 20 years of elegance. Unfortunate that this was our only bottle! — 11 years ago

A proud Malbec. Mix of flavor with personality. Definitely worth another bottle. Old cheese a good friend. Steak even better — 11 years ago

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Thinking the 2009 was a bad bottle. This was the essence of minerality. — 13 years ago

Not too bad. Good flavor, but a little light for my tastes. — 9 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

When you have to travel on a Sunday, and that Sunday happens to be Mother's Day, you're not exactly psyched. This little oasis in the Delta Sky Club afforded me the opportunity to smile. Not a bad pour, regardless of the price. Typical Lynch-Bages cigar tobacco and leather with some luscious and velvety black fruit. Finished a little flat, most likely due to being open for a while in the fancy automated pour gizmo. But still smiling! — 9 years ago
