Pale white in color. Floral and spice notes in nose. Crisp, slight seed bitterness, grapefruit peel and jasmine tea-like flavor on finish. Dry as advertised. Drying skin astringency in aftertaste, mild but pleasing somehow. Well structured. Addictively tasty. A superior gewurtztraminer. — 6 years ago

Whole Foods baby. Nice blend with jammy, smooth texture with tobacco and vanilla highlights. Brand is reputed to be a Winston Churchill favorite. Great with manchego and spicy nduja. — 7 years ago

JFK is someone I greatly admire, along with Churchill, MLK and Margaret Thatcher. Nice to learn a little more about him, while drinking a 2010 Bdx stunner.
Frankly, this is a Napa clone. Lovely notes of barrel toast, sandalwood, truffle and maraschino cherries, which drift onto the palette. Excellent poise and tannic structure. This wine may very well out-live me. For those of you that enjoy the texture and sweetness of Napa blends, give this a try...

For those of us that like to snoop around, on that middle shelf in the background is: Haut Brion, Harlan, Lafite, Scarlett reserve, Realm and Grange. If you are ever in the NY/NY area, come get some love. Let's see some other pics with organ extensions, please 😃 — 8 years ago

Strawberry, currant, hint of smoke, smooth vanilla. A little pepper rounds out the long smooth finish. A very nice Pinot with lots of complexity. — 9 years ago

A 2006 brut rosé of pinot, salmon color with flavors of sherry on the nose and orange and hazelnut on the palate. I still get a little raspberry. Delightful. — 8 years ago

An old favorite from my days living on the Central Coast. Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Perfume, citrus peel and litchi on the nose. Crisp, mineral finish, some stone fruit and lemon flavors. Very dry, should be great with food. Paired well with a Vermont raclette-style cheese. With time, creamy lees and apricot skin flavors emerged as well. — 7 years ago

enthralled today by my namesake Gary Oldman as the Champagne-loving Churchill in The Darkest Hour, the perfect #Thanksgiving movie & a veritable cinematic "V" for victory, I opened this 1947 Henri Abele Champagne - delicious with turkey and cornbread stuffing tonight — 7 years ago

Watching football and drinking champs with KFC. Bereche is the bomb. I love opening it and waiting and hour or two to drink it, to let it balance out. I like to wait on all champagnes especially Bereche. After getting some air, you get such a nice mix of tart and sweet, like hard candy (Green apple jolly ranchers?), but you get the sophistication of a traditional 3 grape blend with a decent amount of reserve, plus some funkiness from all the naturalness of the process that they use to make it. It is a really smart wine that offers something for everyone without sacrificing anything or making compromises. I like this a lot more than a 9, but I have to save some digits for the Emidio Pepe '85s or the Pol Roger Winston Churchill '88s of the world. If you look at my scores, you see a lot of 9s but that's because I rarely write about wine I don't like. I don't want to be one of those yelpers who only bitch, especially when I know how much sacrifice goes into making great wine. I want to celebrate the Bereches of the world who go that extra mile to touch greatness, even though wine economics resist it. — 8 years ago

What a treat to have a taste of 1997 Salon Blanc de Blancs. So complex: Toast, chalky minerality, spice, cacao, cloves. Fresh yet rich, balanced, with palate coating bubbles. What a gorgeous wine. Merci beaucoup @lamamouniamarrakech. Although maybe sacrilegious not to have Pol Roger in the Churchill Bar? #winelife #pianobar #travel #marrakech #morocco #champagne — 10 years ago
