Aglianico del Vulture 2015

My first, but not last, aglianico. Recommended by @Byron C Mayes Super wine. It’s so interesting. Almost like grown up grape juice to start. Then it softens into a mixture of classy patchouli cafe (can’t find a better description of the nose). So complex and charcoal-ly. Wonderful. — 7 years ago

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 1992

1992. Byron brought - superbly smooth. After switching around between beer, saki and white wines while eating sushi, this got opened, which shifted gears effortlessly. It was like putting in your favorite fleece. The one you will never give to goodwill or sell in a garage sale. The one they will have to pry from your cold, dead fingers. — 11 years ago

Kingston Family Vineyards

Tobiano Pinot Noir 2010

For the ridiculously low price; this is a luscious 'sneak peak' at Byron Kosuge's signature extraction and juicy reputation. The story of the Kingston family is a buried treasure, and the 'Tobiano' Pinot Noir (named for the family's favorite horse on the ranch) is a delicious introduction to the gold that Grandpa Kingston could never have imagined, flowing freely from the Casablanca Valley, Chile. — 12 years ago
