OK, I’m in. This English sparkling wine thing is legit. Fresh, crisp and nicely balanced toasty biscuit character. — 6 years ago
So beautiful and clear in its purpose, titillating on the nose and fulfilling its promises beyond. Balanced and velvety dark red fruit, hints of black tea and cassis but all in a more Old than New World Gestalt. Lots of secondary stuff emerging you just want to sip it slowly. If anybody wonders how well these age, track one down, it’s so worth it. Kudos @Cathy Corison for making this distinctive and enduring bottle! — 7 years ago
Both me and the girl enter our 40th year in 2018, so we are celebrating a couple of days early with the oldest champagne we've ever had. Special is an understatement. Tastes like I'm butt naked, face down in a seafood tower on the top of the Empire State Building, waiting on a helicopter to come take us to Waffle House to sober up before we get in a Ferrari to see a 35mm print of E.T. Endless thanks to @Christian Moses for this bottle. Will remember it for a long time to come. ❤🥂 Happy New Years Friends — 7 years ago
Hands down my favorite Cab. Excellent. Not too heavy. Received as a gift. — 10 years ago
A wine experience of a lifetime, we we enjoying a meal in Bordeaux Centre when our hosts poured this wine blind for us. They ask me to guess what it was. Since this was a long dinner, I had plenty of time. But I worked quickly and guessed Château Margaux. Why? I am not sure, but I went on and said that this wine was either the 1983 or 1986. I had no prompts; I didn't even know that it came out of our hosts cellar. It may have been on the wine list, I never even looked. I just broke down the wines elegance, excellent structure and softened tannins. Now before we get too excited here. I could have been a million miles away with my guess, but it wouldn't have matter. Right or wrong, close or far away, this is always a good exercise for those serious about be a well trained wine taster. The hosts and present company were actually amazed. One is never really wrong with their guesses, though to nail a wine out of the blue was really cool!😏#bordeaux #margaux #chateaumargaux #guessthiswine — 12 years ago
Waitrose. Delightful English white. Melon and peach, grassy and zesty freshness to it, slight acidity to cut through things but without lingering. — 5 years ago

Inky, jammy and delicious. Perhaps better for sipping than with food. — 8 years ago
A very good Tignanello...finished our TE restaurant meal with this one after a good bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape...and hands down this Super Tuscan excelled. Took the remaining amount in the bottle back to our suite to finish during the PA blizzard...Yummy! — 9 years ago
Hands down the best wine I have ever had. The depth and complexity were outstanding — 10 years ago
I'm down with this! Very approachable pinot that is easy to pair with foods and not too expensive! Show up to a gathering with this and people will not only love the taste but the fact it is called OPP.....yeah, you know me! — 10 years ago
It’s been open about 3 days and airing about 4 hours in the bottle. The nose is musky barnyard with wet oak, damp forest floor, wet leather and dark red fruit. There’s still some chalky tannins with acidity that rushes down the sides of your mouth and tongue. The red fruit carries forward, but more underripe with skins intact. It’s cleaner on the palate with a bit of damp cellar and dry earth, with notes of leather and red plum skin. The red plum and leather hang on into the finish. It’s a solid showing that I’d like to see where it develops over the next 3-5 years. — 5 years ago

Outstanding cab/merlot blend. Sister of sexual chocolate. Excellent price point. Around $20. — 7 years ago
Dense red currant is ‘wrassled’ down by fennel aromas, mint and black cherry with strawberry and blackberry hidden beneath its thick canopy of fern and forrest; including moss and mushroom. Actually amazing! Not going to ever guess that this herbaceous monster with rim to rim colt density is an 11 yr old Calistoga! Meaty notes of grill and marinated fungi. Celeriac root, fennel and licorice notes define this angel with a minty coolness persisting! Blackberry and black cherry emerge in the finale to shine like young wine despite the years!#Larkmead #2007cab #Calistoga #Napa #napacab — 7 years ago
