"La Cueille" Bugey-Cerdon Sparkling Gamay Poulsard

It's sunny and just over 30°F today, so fire in the chimnea time! First flames of 2019.

One of our favorite new (2009) AOC's in France, this is 80% Gamay & 20% Poulsard, but the epitome of 100% sparkling strawberry juice! So GD delicious!

One thing to note, last bottle is always the best, we're out of stock now, but don't hold these too long. We've seen bottle variation, likely best to track lot codes on the bottles and make sure your buying a newer version than the last, since we're talking about an NV product.

Susucaru Rosato Malvasia Blend

Like your mom’s day old raspberry crisp with a fresh lemon juice squeeze, a healthy dusting of white pepper and a scoop of fatty vanilla bean ice cream, suddenly the doorbell rings, you answer and no one is there except for a basket of oily bratwurst cooked in duck fat — 7 years ago

Third time trying this wine, opened the day before. From my father’s cellar. Something very interesting that I found out about this estate is that they air dry 30% of the grapes before they begin the fermentation process. The color is dark opaque garnet red with the brownish edges. Within the nose there are a lot of sweet berries or prunes. As it opened up more some brown sugar and hard candy came with the nose. The palate was very interesting, because of how sweet the nose smelt compared to the palate. The mouthfeel started off very sweet and light then changed to full and lingering finish. A little fur dancing across the tongue drying out my mouth. Soft/light start across the tongue and then spikes mid to end of the tongue. Not yet at the end of its life, probably has about two or so years left in it. Very interesting varietal that I need to get more experience with. Great QPR, especially for an Italian wine and only for $19. — 10 years ago

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 1996

My first Sassicaia. A 1996. This helped me to understand perfection in a glass. I was humbled to experience the potential greatness of a super Tuscan. Velvety tannins with the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc dancing harmoniously together and yet revealing itself individually in layers. At Bohemian restaurant NYC. — 11 years ago

Nice golden apple hew leads to a toned down citrus nose. Honeysuckle, pear, and lemon smoother the palate. Finish is a bit tart, but seems to last indefinitely! Some seriously good juice!! — 8 years ago

Louis Roederer

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2002

Pale light yellow gold. Lively constant tiny bubbles. Deep round nose with high pitched fruit. Notes of pear, grapefruit, chalk and limestone. With more air you find some citrus and honeysuckle. Chewy in the mouth with great mouthfeel. Coats the entire mouth. Long finish lingers a minute or more. Velvet. Killer juice. Was inspired to open one of these after seeing a friend’s TN this weekend. Glad I did. — 6 years ago

Rhinestones Gamay Pinot Noir 2015

60% Gamay, 40% Pinot. Pretty ruby color with pink edges. Herbs, spices, fresh cut roses, cinnamon, and bright strawberries. Light-bodied and at 12.5 you could, and will want to, gulp this stuff down quick. Show some patience and you'll see that it just keeps improving over the night. In the mouth, there's a ton of fresh fruit. Cherries, raspberries, and blackberries combine with wet grass and dirt to really showcase the funk. Gracefully dancing on your tongue, I'm quite impressed by this. — 8 years ago

'L'Esprit des Pavots' Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2006

Has to open another bottle! Color reveals some ages, good brownish rim. Graphite, wet stones, lots of liquorice, cinnamon at first on the nose. Ripe red cherry, plum and strawberry hiding behind the spices. Fairly concentrated juice, very elegant and beautiful mouth feel. 30s finish, little bit bitter at the end but doesn't conceal its elegance. 15.5% alc(never feel that high). 2006 vintage — 9 years ago
