@Steve Anderson This is a cool bottle, enjoyed in my pre-delectable days. But I must say this particular pic of those three white wines would have been a very fun lineup alone, without all the other badass corks that were pulled during your evening.

@Severn Goodwin - yes, the line up of whites (also including an Aubert Lauren) probably didn’t get the attention they deserved. I’m fortunate to be part of a generous (and thoughtful) wine group and they went above and beyond in the quality and quantity of wines presented for our holiday dinner. A wonderful evening, but some excellent wines got lost in a sea of bottles. We actually decided not to open a few of the whites, including Guigal La Doriane, knowing that we already had too many bottles open.

@Steve Anderson Good decision to withhold. Palate and experience gets compromised with too many bottles, it gets tough for stellar bottles to stand in a crowd some days. Also, a generous wine group is really the best kind. 😉

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1984

Dark ruby, bright, doesn’t look it’s age. Awesome funky old Cal Cab nose. Notes of cherry, cranberry sauce, dirt and some balsa wood. Some steminess. Great perfume. Nice in the mouth but missing just a little bit in the mid palate. Really enjoyed this. — 6 years ago

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2015

Aromas of brioche, ripe pear and pineapple. Nice weight on palate with just the right touch of oak. Beautiful long finish. The wine is one of the most impressively balanced Cal chards I've had recently. The fruit, oak, and acidity are all there, but so smoothly integrated. Wish I had bought more. — 7 years ago

How do you say no to a wine dedicated to Cal Ripken? Not only does this do him justice, this is flat out an amazing Cabernet. Is it worth the $825 with the signed baseball? I'll leave that up to you. Regardless, the toasted oak and dark tannic fruits with this make this an age worthy stash. — 8 years ago

L'Etincello Vin de Pays de l'Hérault White Blend 2007

Opulent, with this 2007 showing a whiff of incense & rancio, it reminds me of church wine-- except this is my kind of church. Makes me want curried goat or a Korean/Vietnamese feast to see this plush marvel from Languedoc handle a dizzying array of dishes! — 9 years ago

Rosato di Cannonau Cannonau 2013

I 2013 Cannonau. was never a lover of rose until I tried a lovely Pinot Rose and then I trod this at the Mosby Winery & simply loved it.
Cal-Italian wine. Cannonau grape. Fruity. Very slightly sweet with a dry finish.

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1992

Dark purple plum skin color from center to the rim’s edge where some scarlet also appears. Opaque. Great fruit forward nose that grabs your attention. Notes of blackberries, ripe plums, violets, tobacco, forest floor and some crushed walnuts. Rich and silky in the mouth. Great balance and texture. Tannins perfectly integrated. Long finish. If a Cal Cab can be seductive, this is it. Still youthful but in a great zone tonight. — 6 years ago
