Delicious example of the incredible value to be found in the south of France. 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache and the rest cinsault. Garrigue and blackberry with surprisingly light strawberry notes underneath from the Grenache. For 10 bucks a bottle, just goes to show that if you know where to look there is great value to be had...especially in France — 9 years ago
With Tim as my Sous Chef, together we made an amazing Valentine's dinner. Grass-fed filet mignon, sautéed Bok Choy, and steamed artichokes. Paired with a couple treasures from my cellar. 1998 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape (lost its fruit 😔), but then we opened a 1997 Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon-wow!! Beautifully aged, silky tannins, balanced acidity, lush berry fruit and a lovely finish. Boy are we spoiled! P. S. I only paid $35.95 for it back in 2001! — 11 years ago

Iodine, brett, red fruits, leather, black licorice, lively acidity. Reminds me a lot of Donjon CDP. #gigondas #rhone #wine #grenache #rhonerangers #rhonevalley — 10 years ago

1996 Soldera Riserva Brunello. Bday dinner w GD &Y at Il P. Drank this after the '98 Lucien Michel Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Another big wine-though not quite as peppery or inky as the Syrah. Pretty balanced, but a big punch of green veg and soil on it. Two big wines and we enjoyed them both. Drinking great — 9 years ago
Nice minerality matched with flower petals - not a ton of fruit or particularly refreshing, a more serious rosé. Lovely post-wedding libation. — 10 years ago
