Really liked the jammy quality. Perfect starter glass. — 8 years ago
Watching football and drinking champs with KFC. Bereche is the bomb. I love opening it and waiting and hour or two to drink it, to let it balance out. I like to wait on all champagnes especially Bereche. After getting some air, you get such a nice mix of tart and sweet, like hard candy (Green apple jolly ranchers?), but you get the sophistication of a traditional 3 grape blend with a decent amount of reserve, plus some funkiness from all the naturalness of the process that they use to make it. It is a really smart wine that offers something for everyone without sacrificing anything or making compromises. I like this a lot more than a 9, but I have to save some digits for the Emidio Pepe '85s or the Pol Roger Winston Churchill '88s of the world. If you look at my scores, you see a lot of 9s but that's because I rarely write about wine I don't like. I don't want to be one of those yelpers who only bitch, especially when I know how much sacrifice goes into making great wine. I want to celebrate the Bereches of the world who go that extra mile to touch greatness, even though wine economics resist it. — 8 years ago

This is a great tasting wine! You can taste all the notes and it's sweet, which I love! — 8 years ago
My wife says "it's Mother's Day weekend, bitch!", which I take to mean I should open something good. This doesn't taste anywhere near 12 years old. Layer after layer on the nose and palate. One of my very favorite Cabs. Wish I could drink it every day. — 8 years ago
Sweet, sticky, fruity, a little bit of cherry, pear, and cassis. Easy to drink if you like them sweet. — 9 years ago
Very light and fruity. In my opinion, the perfect introductory Pinot Noir for beginning red-wine drinkers. Delicious :) — 9 years ago

Floral tension, ripe strawberries, and volcanic minerality combine to make a feminine personality. Given its birth in Brouilly, it displays Mediterranean qualities of jammy fruit and iron. Acid stays lively while structured tannins give depth and adaptability with food. As always, Cru Beaujolais gives high QPR no matter the vintage. Drinking this bitch young as one should. — 7 years ago
Is there such a thing as: fresh cut grass scented black cherry caramel popcorn? Mouth-watering fresh acid. The color is incredible. Far western edge of Alexander Valley, 13 acres of Carignane planted between 1927 and 1950. pure black cherry, fresh cut grass that reminds me only of Zinfandel. Caramel that I typically associate with Petit and Alicante but not after tasting this in barrel. Beautifully simple but not a Basic Bitch. I would Blind it as a field blend or Zin. Good stuff, put it in a decanter, curious to see what 72 hours does — 8 years ago
Picked this up for $12.99 at my local wine store, and I'm very satisfied. This just proves you don't have to always go with big names in the right bank. Honestly, this Lalande de Pomerol is straight up sexy and alluring. Color is a deep red ruby color with medium plus intensity. While pouring into the decanter, the color hypnotizes you into a wine dream. On the nose, it's medium-minus intensity makes you get up close and personal. Upon first sniff, I picked up black currants, tart cherries, cranberries, and violets. After taking my first sip, all those fruit aromas went away and I was left with more earthy and oaky notes. The French oak puts notes of cedar, clay, and smoke into the palate. I was surprised with the medium-plus acidity and woody tannins because of it being a right bank Bordeaux blend. Complexity came out after about 2 hours of just hanging out in the decanter. I highly recommend doing this. It was a stiff bitch before that. The tannins mellowed out and the heavy cedar notes became more subtle and balanced. Overall, what a good wine! The price doesn't hurt either! Cheers! — 9 years ago
Throw some Ds on that bitch. — 9 years ago
The Tedeschi Family Winery Stargazer Vineyards Napa Merlot 2006 is the bitch that everyone would die for, especially the ladies. Rich, full, wild and seductive like Carole in Top Gun hollering at Goose, this wine opens up and puts out intensely with an unbelievably deep scream, "Take me now or lose me forever". — 10 years ago

The most twisted joke that has ever been played on Mourvèdre...and definitely making the call here at absolute hands down number one expression of the Mourvèdre grape I have ever had. Eric pfifferling makes every red grape his bitch in the best possible way, this is no exception. — 7 years ago
