Drinks By The Dram

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

I have suffered through a number of dull uninspiring bottles from this case but thankfully this wasn't one of them. Really delicious perfectly mature claret which drinks beautifully now. — 9 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2004

Maturing well and softer tannins for a cab sav than other Serge Hochar wines. Drinks well now. — 10 years ago

Daou Vineyards

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

This wine is incredibly good, great price, drinks well with red meat. — 10 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

I read on Delectable that this Pinot is a Cab lover's Pinot and she was right. I usually pass on Pinot because a good one is so hard for me to find. But this one is really, really good. I've had the Belle Glos from Meiomi, which I've liked as well, but this is equally as good. Great spice along with the fruit. Found this on sale on Cape Cod for $17 - a bargain for wine that drinks like this. — 10 years ago

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

My mom never drinks the wine she gets as gifts, lucky me. Crushed green apple, a wisp of citrus, puff pastry dough and fennel seed. Fantastic stuff, could drink two. — 10 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Needs to breathe a bit at first, but drinks well. Tastes more expensive than it is. Good red! — 12 years ago

Saman Hosseini
9.0

Undeniable finesse and potential. Drinks like St. Estephe but far less abrasive tannins. — 9 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

One of, if not THE best cab made in the US of A. This vintage is a little young but drinks beautifully. I would love to find a wine that rivals Dunn. — 10 years ago

Domaine A. et P. de Villaine

Bouzeron Aligoté 2013

Ocean spray, crushed sea shell, beautiful minerality, drinks like a Chablis...elegant — 10 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2002

Class in a glass. Very fine and creamy texture. Rich nose, like breathing in a slice of lemon meringue pie. Drinks a bit like a fizzy grand cru burg. — 10 years ago

Montevertine

Le Pergole Torte Sangiovese 1999

Great drinks beautifully — 10 years ago

Silver Oak

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Slightly sweet due to American oak, lovely blend and drinks well now. — 11 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2000

For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.

Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career.

Tenet Wines

Columbia Valley GSM Grenache Syrah Mourvedre 2013

Drinks great right now. Will age beautifully. — 10 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2006

Still drinks incredibly young. Lots of life still within this one. Like fine Bordeaux in its delivery of minerality and earthy complexities that is severely lacking in Napa. — 10 years ago

Bodegas Drinks and Dreams

D + D Douro+Duero Douro Red Blend

Great Georgian toast is to your neighbor - he is the most important, especially if you moved into new place.

Here are neighbors from one river banks, but different countries. Sogevinus Fine Wines & Bodegas Emilio Moro - made this opulent, rich and silky wine. Elegant fruit, wrapped into noble oak, great wine -with each sip I can contemplate about toasts wisdom - vostok delo tonkoe.

Maybe missing a bit of length,but I forgive them, the balance is perfect. Don't expect claws, this is tuxedo dress code.
