Dime

Château Magdeleine Bouhou

Côtes de Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

The nose is a delight of cassis, blueberry & blackberry as well. For being a 2010 I was worried how this would behave- but there’s no worry here. 2010 was a legendary vintage all throughout Bordeaux- and this inexpensive little number is proof of the point. It’s in its prime, and costs a dime for every dollar one would consider spending on more recognizable labels. Yea. I’ve given the matter a lot of thought, and the 2010 Château Magdeleine Bouhou is my 2020, Poor Man’s Cheeseburger Wine of The Year.

Given its history, its story, and its rarity, I wanted to LOVE this, but as lovely and delicious as it is, it doesn’t measure up to the best Sauternes. Don’t get me wrong — I would drink it all day long, just not on my dime. — 8 years ago

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1970

WNH Southern gathering hosted by @Mike R and old Heitz vertical (70,74,85) sourced by @Martin G Rivard (from Benchmark) who also contributed some on his own dime. This ‘70 started with a wet cardboard musty nose and a slightly hollow mid palate and astringent finish. As the evening evolved and the steak showed up the wine did a complete 180. More tannins than fruit but it was a structured beauty that may not be at it’s peak but is still a gorgeous wine. Ripe plum, stewed fig, bayleaf. I didn’t get any eucalyptus from this but there’s a strong earthy, old world with a CA spin vibe. After dinner and before the fire pit some of us finished the decanter of this and were impressed at how it was still ascending hours after being opened. — 9 years ago

@Ron R @David A Lentine @Ryan Mitchell yes it's gonna be a blast and definitely what the reason is for opening these bottles, I have a aunt from Switzerland who is a Reidel distributor and wine connoisseur and she has let me known that she is bringing some eye poppers! Along with 6 big boxes of glasses that I received :) the one thing of all the gifts we are getting that is more for me than my future wife! I will post a lot of pics of the bottles and hopefully get to post some great bottles with great views from Tahiti and Bora Bora area. One question wine in luggage international trip is that a problem? Will the cold air in the storage on the plane ruin the wine?

(5305bb1be5c5cb8a3a001b98 -> 5305ba92352b69163a003c22) New Belgium Brewing

Voodoo Ranger 1985 IPA

Pineapple-grapefruit look blasts a big-bubbled white puff with even stacking. Igneous lacing formation churns into Pahoihoi. Grapefruit and pineapple match the drapes, with the pineapple turning jell-o with cream topping. Papaya and mango make the rounds, ripely. Clean palate of zesty lemon wrapped around just ripe mango, and a tangerine thing that rounds it to mango texture. Minerally pineapple suggests a weightless and steely finish, but the lime drops the dime to call it home. Good rotation back to white raspberry! #newbelgium #newbelgiumbrewing #voidooranger #ipa #indiapaleale #newbelgiumvoodoorangernineteeneightyfiveipa #voodoorangernineteeneightyfive #newbelgium1985 #1985ipa #beer #bier #biere #birra #rotatingseriesbeer — 6 years ago

Offley

Tawny Porto

Dark fruit and raisin nose. The taste follows through on the promise. Properly sweet for un porto, but the richness of the fruit keep it safely away from the cloying territory. Worth every paltry dime, but has a touch of bite which reminds you, "I'm a Tawny, not an LBV. But I'm still pretty dark-fruit delightful." — 10 years ago

Paolo Bea

San Valentino Sangiovese Blend 2014

Farm soil, licorice, flint, and a little bit of wet lumber on the nose. Cherry pie, herbs, and pez next. Acid wash denouement. Corpuscular - needles etching the edge of a dime. — 6 years ago

Rivers-Marie

Panek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The 2016 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon Panek Vineyard lasted 10 days before I finally gave in. My weakness was rooted more in curiosity than hedonism. Albeit much of that curiosity had to do with how hedonistic it was. After 30 minutes I was concerned that I might have killed a baby. After 45 mins it turned on a dime, and after another 30 minutes it came into focus and you realize all’s right with the world. There’s a seamless swath of minerality and savoriness that spans from wet gravel to dark chocolate cocoa powder while also revealing a bridge of cedar, cassis, underbrush, grilled meat, and espresso. Once again, this makes an excellent argument for being my favorite wine in the valley. — 8 years ago

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum I have not tasted the Herb Lamb yet, but considering the pedigree of both the Colgin and HL offerings from that vineyard, it’s hard to imagine Thomas isn’t doing something awesome there too! Looking forward to your review.

Paringa Estate

Sparkling Shiraz 2016

This dark wine has a big, grapey nose with a blast of leather and meat coming right behind. It's an interesting combo, such a simple beginning that turns complex on a dime. The palate is just as brash, with subdued bubbles, keen acidity and a dark, fruity taste. Think Lambrusco, but bigger. The earth profile hits late and stays on the finish. Fun. — 8 years ago

Abreu Vineyards

Thorevilos Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

went big tonight. Been saving this Abreu gem for the perfect moment, and I realized it's time to take the moment and make it perfect (and get it poppin!) Enjoying a gorgeous day almost exclusively outside, and this beautiful gem is complimenting a festive low country broil in our shady backyard. The first scent is a touch smoky, blackberries, licorice (maybe a little star anise?) - decanted two hours and could have gone longer. 'Wishing a very Happy Fathers' Day to all! Have a good week.

2007. I will say this one was every bit worth it. And completely appreciated and slowly savored by all 4 who partook.
