Good g-d this was gorgeous! No green peppers. Just herbaceous fruit with dashes of lavender and number two pencils sprinkled throughout. Thank you, Theresa! — 8 years ago

1999 Screaming Eagle. Wolf w J&L B and J&J D. Such a treat. Drank this first of the reds and it was spectacular. Massive and still young, as to be expected, but still so balanced and with that wonderful mouth-coating velvety texture. Huge oak, vanilla, spice, and some acidity as well. Really complex and hard to distinguish all the different things going on. We all really, really enjoyed this wine and it was drinking wonderfully despite its youth. Thumbs up. — 9 years ago

Insignia is as consistent as they come. I have some good Phelps stories when we all get together. I had a friend with a key to the barrel room.

Vilmart & Cie

Grand Cellier d'Or 1er Cru Brut Champagne Pinot Noir Chardonnay

Vilmart is one of my favorite producers and this bottle, a favorite memory, from a profoundly enjoyable luncheon at Hôtel Restaurant Les Avisés, owned by Anselme Selosse and his wife. Everything about that day was perfect, including the wine. The 2010 Cuvée Grand Cellier d' Or Brut is a sunbeam in a glass, with bubbles like seed pearls embroidered on golden-threaded brocade. Transporting aromas of lemon pudding, dewy pear, white flowers, honeycomb and dried mint lead into a wine that is as poised as it is precise. It crescendos on a spicy note that gradually subsides to a clean, lilting finish. — 9 years ago

Hill of Grace Vineyard Shiraz 2008

this is blue chip shiraz - and of the best! incredibly massive nose filled with cool perfumes of blackberry, menthol, black olive, pepper, incense, red soil. after some time coffee liquor and toffee added.
it´d easily work as a smelling salt...

palatewise i expected a more masculine tannin structure, the wine was ready after half an hour. smooth and fruity and really intense again.
great acidity and elegance.
personally i stick to northern rhône, really, but this wine is splendid, of course - and not jammy.

thank you, daniel!
