Clos Cristal

Cristal Closed Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc

Good herbaceous funk from French punk winemakers. Balanced tannins with good acidity. Old vines. Minimal intervention. — 8 years ago

Bollinger

Second best Rose I've had. Cristal was better but three times the price — 9 years ago

de Venoge

Louis XV Brut Champagne Blend 1996

Had this beauty when I proposed to my fiancé! 1996 vintage brut by De Venoge out of Epernay! Age has done this champagne well. Nice creamy mouth feel, delicate, very fine bubbles, lemon zest, mousse, golden apples, toasted nuts.. arguably one of the best 1996 champagnes out there. A prime example of how a great growing year and proper aging after digorgement, like a 15+ year old vintage Cristal or Bolinger. Can't wait to try their vintage Rosé extra brut 2002, and their 2006 Rosé Brut that are also 93 rated! They both probably need several more years to mature so that the citrus acidity has lessened a bit and all the complexities emurge. Back from my tangent, try this champagne before there aren't anymore left! $199 at total wine for the gift set! — 10 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Brut Rosé 1996

Absolutely one of the finest champagnes I have ever had. Dom or Cristal have nothing on this baby. Very bright, crisp, inviting to drink and leaves a full and sexy hint of Grapefruit on the palate. — 12 years ago

Woodbridge Wines (by Robert Mondavi)

California Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Served at Easter. I had an epiphany. After decades of drinking DRCs, Leroy, Coche, Raveneau, krug, Salon, Cristal, Latour Haut Brion, I am done with them. I am going to drink Woodbridge exclusively. Does anyone know if it comes in white and sparkling? — 8 years ago

Larry: This is a terrific acknowledgment on part. I've been waiting for more than 2 decades for you to acknowledge you've been led astray all these years! Welcome back.

Domaine Fourrey

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2008

This wine shows very well how 2008 is a classic chablis vintage; lot of tension, reduced aromas of stones, minerality, a cristal clear structure... That is a great white wine — 9 years ago

Bodegas Mauro

Terreus Paraje de Cueva Baja Tempranillo 2011

At the beginning of the fourteenth century, Castilla and León participated in the Reconquista, the re-conquest of the spanish peninsula from its medieval muslim rulers.
Seven centuries later, Bodegas Mauro reconquers our palate.
Absolutely stunning from the cristal clear dark ruby, subtle, but flirty nose, to the rich, red fruit balanced with formal tannins, and a dash of cassis.
The incredibly silky descent, and long, beautiful aftertaste must have the Vega Sicilia family on edge. They simply cannot deliver this craftsmanship at this price.
Unforgettable!

Ace of Spades Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

Jay-Z's favorite bubbly, this pink Champagne falls under the Champagne Cattier umbrella. "Ace of Spades" is the new Cristal, at least in hip hop circles. About as limited as a wine can get. This one is mainly sold at night clubs.
I sold this Liter for $2,000.00. My guest loved it and bought a total of 2 bottles. Wow!!

Brut Rosé Champagne 1996

Good champer, I think I prefer Cristal rose, more linear and precise, good balance loads of strawberries and kirsch — 10 years ago
