Chablis Chardonnay 2009

Talk about overperforming. Really seriously impressive. Waxy honeysuckle gave way to mineral bliss over 5 hours. For an AC from 09?! Turner wedding — 10 years ago

Talk about value. Very juicy strawberry and cherries. Pleasing amount of ripeness with just enough tannins to keep it approachble but satisfying. — 11 years ago

Venge Vineyards

Silencieux Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Wow. Talk about full flavor with a little bit of dust. My new favorite discovery. Anything Venge is going to be excellent. — 11 years ago

SLO Down Wines

Sexual Chocolate California Red Blend

Oh, I love this wine so much, I call it Denzel. Every single time I talk a client into having this at their event or table -- they love it. It is perfect for compromising different palates when only one wine can be had... Merlot lovers, Pinot snobs, Cabernet aficionados ... They all can get along with this blend. It is wonderful to drink on it's own, but it shines wonderfully with food. Duh, I love this stuff. — 12 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

These chaps always deliver. Always. Another decade of cellaring wont do any harm. Talk about 1st growth quality at a 2nd growth price tag.

This is so nice and dry I expected to see the word "trocken" on the label. Alas, it's Italian and they don't talk like that — 11 years ago
