Domaine Le Roc

Cuvée Don Quichotte Fronton 2022

2022 vintage. A blend of Negrette (60%) and Syrah. Very attractive with roses, blackberries, and spices grabbing your attention. Terrific value too. Abv. 14,5%. — 9 months ago

Don Cayetano

Reserva Especial Colchagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Stewed and baked fruit, charred wood, vanilla on the finish. Bordering on overripe and the oaks a bit much for my taste, but the acid/tannin structure keeps this enjoyable. — 4 years ago

Don Miguel Gascón

Reserva Mendoza Malbec 2013

Prune flavors, but dry and round. Spicy/woody on the finish. Unassuming but complexly flavored. Deserves its own attention — don’t smother with food — 6 years ago

Valdespino

Don Gonzalo Oloroso VOS Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Singed wood, dried tobacco, bitter almond, this has a lot to give. — 7 years ago

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2024

Very light salmon pink taking on that orange hue. Aromatics are orange blossom, hibiscus, and lemon grass with some vanilla tying them neatly together. Flavor is citrus fruit and creamsicle with a brief stop on the mid palate for some tannins and then a sharp cleansing acidity. Goes very well with an elote risotto with chipotle chicken. — 9 months ago

Don Julio

1942 Tequila Añejo

Has to be THE or one of the best tequilas around. Carmalized vanilla flavors, incredibly smooth and a long finish. One of the best sipping tequilas and you don’t need a chaser. — 6 years ago

@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind.

This dessert wine is about the same age as my Dad. When you can associate a wine/vintage personally, it really opens your eyes to how wine can hold. This is undoubtedly Pedro Ximenez, which I guessed. It reminds me of a non-vintage port with a balsamic mix to it. Tons of black licorice, old brown sugar, and the aforementioned balsamic vinaigrette note. Incredible for the age.
