Oh yes I did. If the somms of Texas are going to grab pretty much every bottle not earmarked for NYC and CA, then I'm drinking this one! Grown on limestone, yes, this is a very different idea of what Gruner can do. Embrace it. There are grapes, and there is the soil/dirt/rocks/minerals they are planted in. — 9 years ago

Fernet Branca is San Francisco's magical elixir of lore. Equal parts hangover prevention and morning after cure; it is an acquired taste but one that every San Franciscan must embrace. The traditional way to consume fernet is neat with a back of ginger beer. Sip fernet, sip ginger, repeat... Ask for a fernet and ginger as you wrap up dinner at any restaurant in SF and you will receive a knowing nod from your server followed quickly by your glass of fernet branca. — 9 years ago

Mother's Day was perfect. And realistic. It meant doing dishes, laundry, and making four beds before 8am. But it also meant having an impromptu dance party with my Mom and my twins in her bathroom before 9am. It was a day devoid of cancer talk, acknowledging the obvious with extra long hugs, but choosing to embrace the moment and be hopeful there will be many more Mothers' Days with my Mom. This Vin Perdu was an excellent ending. Earthy and maybe even smoky vs what I have been drinking (because it's on fiiiyyaaa🔥) Heidi Barrett - need I say more - you know how I feel about her. And PS, if you've ever had it, you would know it's quite possibly the best label ever (a hologram) — 9 years ago

Such a wonderful wine. 90yr old carineña from a north-facing granitic vineyard, aged 24mo in Stockinger foudre. So much underlying minerality to embrace the black fruit core. Huber is the man! — 10 years ago

The big smile rating has much to do with a) how in the mood I was for this (lamb back straps, winter's day), the anticipation of it being exactly what was required and the resounding way in which it proved me right. Blackberry and cassis, cigar box complexity, amplitude, medium body and - the best thing - supple, grainy fruit tannins that held the fruit in a warm and enduring embrace. — 11 years ago

Delicate. Taylor's 10 Year Old Tawny proved to be more reticent than other Tawny's I'd sampled while in Porto. On the palate, it's medium bodied and inlaid with dried fruit notes, a touch of caramel seamlessly interlaces dates, figs, and dried cherries in a silky embrace. There is, at times discernible heat, especially on the finish, which is spicy, a burst of white pepper and unexpected warmth. Sample — 9 years ago

The Grolleau supplies the phat, round, warm spice embrace while the Cab Franc gives angularity & Tellicherry pepper, so the pieces of the surprising jigsaw puzzle fit together just so! — 9 years ago

Since attending Fete le Vin, bordeaux 2008, my appreciation for rose has changed. That year at the festival there were plenty of rose's represented. It was an embrace by the french of something that they seem to generally consider not good. Returning stateside, my quest for the perfect rose endes with this "celebrity" wine. — 10 years ago

Quicksilver kid! Thanks for sharing the fun-quirky, generous notes of stone gumball, fuzz of white peach, lemon dust crunch and graphite shavings. Your Yellow marigold happiness, radish intermezzo, and fresh air composure bring a smile to my lips, a flutter to my olfactory. On the palate, your nervy embrace charms, your acid bite just piquant enough to keep me on my toes - mellower now that we've known you a few years - and your biscuit dough-limeade composure is one of a kind. Even your sucker-punch jalapeño-apricot-preserve note is more of an embrace, really...

Being cool like you are, OF COURSE wrap with a Tangerine and wet hay finale, that awesome acidic impertinence polished to a perfect lilt!! Then, just stony silence 😭

Geek notes: brilliant, w/ pale straw and green hue. High- intensity, transitional nose. High acid, med alc, med-long finish. Balances on the knife edge of sanity/insanity, just right. 💚

Bright and shining with acidity, leaving a very refreshing tone of stone fruit with crushed mineral nuances. This will age gracefully but I doubt many will exercise the will power once they taste it. Very well made and just an all around quality expression of Riesling that most would embrace. — 10 years ago

100% Grenache by way of Beaujolais in its embrace of fruit and freshness. In that sense verging on Chateauneuf-du-Pape style but it's Amurican and made by some farming-first badasses in Paso so count me in. — 9 years ago

Durant Vineyard's Dundee Hills La Paloma Pinot Noir 2013 doesn't disappoint. This is their 40th Anniversary edition, and I can smell its heady aromatics with the glass sitting more than two feet away (that always charms me). Cherry turnover, vanilla, and rose petal and anise are anchored in a subtly earthy embrace. It's silky on entry, with ripe tannins. This is a more fruit-driven Pinot than most examples from the 2013 vintage, offering tons of drinking pleasure. The finish is baking spice and rosy purfume. 13.6% ABV | Sample — 9 years ago

One of my absolute favorite new beverages this year - a Brut, from Normandy, made from apples. The nose comes across like the inner peel of a Honey Crisp but goes brilliantly and seductively dry on first kiss, then wet on your lips going deep and French as it lingers and meanders around your mouth with its electric effervescence bringing you to a more attentive state, while romancing you into its full embrace, as you beg it not to stop, and, at only 5% alcohol, you will break a slightly sideways smile, lick your lips, lay back and go all the f.....g way... "Roll another one, just like the other one..." 😎 It's cool, it's Christmas🎄 Check it out! — 9 years ago

1985 out of magnum at this day in age is absolutely charming. Both savory and rounded and resonant with camphor, dark fruits of the forest, resinous violin bow rosin, and underscored by the rare structure of a master carpenter underscored by a currant leaf come eucalypt edge that throws all its countless other charms into relief. Oh to embrace every stage as this opens up. A handsome taste of Saint Julien from a legendary house worthy of its renown -and at a delectable place in time served from this format. Seek this out. — 10 years ago

Great Bordeaux for the price. Earthy, mossy, light fruit, with a touch of burnt rubber. Eat with a thick ribeye and let the tannins embrace the fatty meat. And yes, that's what she said. — 10 years ago
