Democratic Wines

Pierre Péters

Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Florals with burnt honeysuckle notes. Good intensity and length particularly for an NV. One of the democratic winners of the Prince Wine Store champagne tasting in late 2010 I attended. 17.5. — 11 years ago

Did it pair so well because it was old and bitter? Haha

Charles Cimicky

Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 1998

We paired this with country ribs drenched in a smoky BBQ sauce. And while I've never made ribs nor tasted this wine, all I can say is...I was transported to scenes From House of Cards, where Kevin Spacey plays the excellent, if slightly sociopathic character of Frank Underwood, Democratic Majority Whip. This wine is brazen, ballsy and complex, with notes of eucalyptus, smoke, preserved meat, asphalt, ox blood, grit and conspiracy. Rich, brooding and as well-developed as a riveting story, the Cimicky will suck you in. — 12 years ago
