Anakota

Helena Dakota Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Enjoyed this tasty and teenaged Anakota Cab at Amis in Philadelphia with a lively view of the kitchen and delicious steak. Rich and peppery with a bite. Lots of fun chatting with the kitchen crew and the rest of the team at Amis while witnessing some glorious dessert prep (pictured: melted chocolate in ramekins)... Thank you @Cara Zimmerman for the great recommendation! — 8 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1975

Sushi and Champagne is one of my favorite combinations. Indeed, almost all celebrations that @Cara Zimmerman and I enjoy together will include this duo. This was somewhat of a step up from our norm as Sushi Zo is a world apart from our usual delivery order of tuna and salmon rolls (with free edamame). Likewise this 1975 DP was rather more elevated than our weekly fizz.

Dark golden color with rich, brioche and mature elements. A touch too advanced but enormously attractive and retaining terrific purity and energy. Sushi and Champagne has rarely been such a treat.

Čara Pošip

Very interesting white, Posip. The closest analogue would be Torrontes.
Dry white wine that is strangely seductive, every sip entertains your palate and even your lips just like a kiss. Slightly heavier body and minimal fruit with grapefruit, pear, and green apple. Lovely Croatian creation;-)

Cadence

Bel Canto Cara Mia Vineyard Red Blend 2013

When in Rome (as they say) 75% Cab Franc, 25% Merlot. This needs air or you'll think it uninspiring (was best the next day). Violets and slight French oak nose. Smooth, clean blue fruits with tannins up front fading at mid palate. Med/short finish. Solid wine. — 9 years ago

Five Vintners

Admiral's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Farmed organically, this 2014 is fresh, bright and reminiscent of Cara Cara oranges & pink grapefruit with Kieffer lime aromatic and Tahitian lime zest/ruby red grapefruit in the finish, which builds for 5 seconds before peaking and lasting a good 20 seconds in all! A beautiful bowl of exotic citrus that is an awesome match with a ripe and runny Humboldt Fog goat cheese!! — 11 years ago

Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau

Blanc Fumé de Pouilly Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Very pale yellow, almost devoid of color. The nose is bright and alive with ripe honeydew melon, green fig, citrus zest, alfalfa sprouts, and fresh grapefruit juice. Gorgeous flavors come in waves; tangerine, citrus oils, lime, lemon zest, lemongrass, cara cara orange, white grapefruit. The acidity is literally laser focused, like the edge of a perfectly sharpened chef's knife. Minerality comes towards the end; clean, white river stones, granite. Hints of wheat grass and radish mix with wet stones on the long lingering finish. This will get even better over the next 5 years. One of the last wines from the true Jedi Master of Sauvignon Blanc. — 10 years ago

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1994

Superlative wine. Drank tremendously well with grilled steak. Rich, dark brown and bursting with plum, apple, currants, and dark berries. There is a very light earth note over nutmeg and delicious cedar. Fantastic wine at 20 years old! Maureen says "really rich and mello". Maureen's dad says "mm mm good!" Oma says "balanced and flavorful, good fruit, raspberries." — 12 years ago

Bodega DiamAndes

Clos de los Siete Malbec Blend 2008

NOTAS DE DEGUSTAÇÃO (Acompanhando uma Pizza)

De coloração vermelho rubi bastante intensa, com um interessante aroma de frutas vermelhas bem maduras, muito equilibrado e harmonioso, com taninos de boa qualidade e final de média persistencia. Um vinho quse perfeito tecnicamente - o Roland é “o cara” pra isso…mas sem aquela pegada diferenciada que eu normalmente espero de grandes vinhos. O Parker deu 90 Pontos pra ele.
