Domaine de L'Oubliee (Xavier Courant)

Notre Histoire Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2013

Classic Cab Franc character and phenolics. Bright acid, mineral-driven mouthfeel with expressive strawberry jam flavors. Smoky flint accents and plenty of cow pasture funk. Straight-forward glou-glou bistro wine with freshness and slight effervescence. — 8 years ago

Tessier Winery

Saralee's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

This is a beautiful example of California Pinot Noir. It has soft, delicate aromas of purple flowers and strawberries with a surprisingly nuanced set of flavors on the palate. The mid-palate is firm and full of red fruits and subtle earthy flavors and mineral textures. It was the perfect accompaniment to French bistro cuisine. If only there was more of this lovely wine! — 10 years ago

Haut-Bailly Dinner in SF with Veronique Sanders of Haut-Bailly.

The 2012 is living up to its reviews. It’s good & well priced. The dark fruits are ripe, juicy, cola notes, menthol, dark, moist, turned earth. Drinking nicely now but, still a hold for another 5 years plus.

Served with Coq au Vin. Baby Carrots, Mushrooms, Pearl Onions & Red Wine Sauce. Mathilde French Bistro

The Coq au Vin was my favorite for tonight. It paired wonderfully with this wine. Worth having a meal @ Mathilde if you come to SF

Château Lascombes

Margaux Merlot Blend 2013

L'Express is a simple French bistro in Flatiron that is as uncomplicated as it is delightful. And it does corkage. I brought along this 2013 Lascombes. It wasn't much to speak of at first but throughout the meal the wine started to open up rather nicely. By the last glass this wine was as uncomplicated as it was delightful. — 8 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

WOTN vs a blockbuster line-up at Cafe Baloud in West Palm Beach on 4/28. Loads of power and concentration but it's a standout for it's plush balance, sexy freshness and astounding vibrancy. This is a 27 year old wine but the fruit is still a centerpiece of this wine and it makes you take notice. Elegant tannic structure with warming fig, expresso and cassis flavors that fill your mouth with hedonistic pleasure. The second '90 Latour @Martin G Rivard pulled out that weekend. — 9 years ago

Enfield Wine Co.

Antle Vineyard Mourvedre Pinot Noir 2014

If this is a bistro style vin de soif, then I wish I could have this more often. The Mourvèdre adds some crunch, however this is still a lighter style made with a deft touch. — 10 years ago

Agreed. I wonder where this will go with a couple years in the bottle. Every time I open one, I swear I'll hold on to the rest. Then I drink another one. And another one. And...

So true! In fact, I think this bottle is better than the last I opened shortly after its release.

Did you decant at all? We opened on nye, decanted, but still was almost better the next day (than the day of opening).
