Centerpiece Wines

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

WOTN vs a blockbuster line-up at Cafe Baloud in West Palm Beach on 4/28. Loads of power and concentration but it's a standout for it's plush balance, sexy freshness and astounding vibrancy. This is a 27 year old wine but the fruit is still a centerpiece of this wine and it makes you take notice. Elegant tannic structure with warming fig, expresso and cassis flavors that fill your mouth with hedonistic pleasure. The second '90 Latour @Martin G Rivard pulled out that weekend. — 8 years ago

Columbia Valley Merlot 2013

We need a Merlot renaissance in Washington. This would be a good centerpiece for that. — 10 years ago

Hopefully over a nice dinner at Brasserie 4 or Saffron. It's likely sacrilege, because the Rhone stuff here is good, but I will always prefer the BDX grapes in WA.

Château Clerc Milon

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Mature, but with another 25+ years of life ahead of it. This 3L bottle was the centerpiece of the Kelly's Thanksgiving dinner (went great with the roast beef). — 11 years ago

Weingut Keller

Kirchspiel Riesling 2013

This marvelous bottle became the centerpiece of our meal on Saturday night at this posh, rather over-embellished Italian restaurant (one star Michelin) whose heavy sauces cried out for a strong foil that could offset their intense richness--#Keller to the rescue once again--this vibrant, mineral-driven 2013 #KIRCHSPIEL, aided by decanting, saved an otherwise lackluster experience--BRAVO! — 10 years ago

Lava Cap

Vine Hill Viognier 2012

Great white wine. The mineral taste is the centerpiece if this wine. Light butter and honeysuckle are the secondary flavors. — 11 years ago
