Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2009

There is a first for everything! Drinking a wine from Lebanon!! One of the oldest wine regions in the world. Over 2000 years old. Even referenced in the Bible (Hosea 14:7)!!! This was een excellent wine. Fresh, clean, vibrant but very dry. Strong tannins that lingered for 2 minutes. Tart pie cherry with a slight hint of orange peel??!, dark chocolate and leather. Very unique. It wasn’t a Bordeaux style nor a Rhône style. Great experience. Drinking the juice near the Land of honey and milk. — 8 years ago

Holly Orchard

A consistent and solid choice for affordable Chablis. It is lacking in complexity, but demonstrates some of the trademark Chablis qualities of minerality, citrus fruit, and a nice clean finish- a good pairing with cheeses and appetizers of almost any type. — 10 years ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2013

Many other Beaujolais I've had smell like bubble-yum or bananas and have some weird, flatness, like club soda. Not burnt, but just, I don't know, like you're tasting the carbon. This is clean and direct. It's tart and sour-cherry, but mysteriously has almost no aftertaste. There's no oak flavor to speak of, (it's vinified in large-format neutral oak) but (once you let it develop) it still seems to have depth and richness like a wine that sees new oak. It needs about an hour of air for the acidity to calm down. — 11 years ago
