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.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Delicious Sauvignon Blanc - Fun, bright slightly citrusy nose with notes of grapefruit, peach and other stone fruit. Smooth body with a crisp finish that lingers on the tongue. What a delight. — 10 years ago

Volcano Winery

Volcano Red Pele's Delight Red Blend

We drank this at the Volcano Winery on the Big Island in Hawaii.
Our server said the wine was different than usual: probably because of an underground volcanic eruption!

One of my faves. I ordered two half bottles - imagine my delight when I received two full bottles at the half bottle price. — 12 years ago

Whitcraft Winery

Melville Vineyard Pinot Noir 2005

This Pinot Noir (the t in Pinot is silent) is delectable. A true shining star. The aromatic treat starts with strong notes of red, and screams 'drink the entire bottle buddy'. Succumbing to the temptation you will discover a blissful elegance as this masterpiece flows through your body. Invigorating your inner youth, enchanting your inner sommelier, and appeasing your inner drunkard with the 16.0% alcohol by volume. This reasonably priced bottle of happiness would truly be a delight on any occasion. Additionally the surgeon general declares consumption of such a magnificent beverage could be detrimental to the growth of a child, pregnant women be warned. — 9 years ago

Morgon Gamay 2014

Should have waited a year. But delicate and juicy life. Feel the strength of Morgon and the delicacy of beau. Cranberry, raspberry, smoked tannins. A delight but I need another. — 10 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1998

What can be said about d'Yquem can only be expressed in poetry, even in a modest vintage like 1998. It is an inner sanctum, a fragrant garden, a poignant release that is both profound and glorious. Descriptors cannot do it justice, sensual and honey-drenched layers of apricots, vanilla bean, creme brûlée and almond pastry. Viscous and glycerol-laden in the mouth, offset by dazzling acidity, dried fruit—quince, more apricots. A pure, honey-spun web of delight. I'm rambling, but d'Yquem does that. — 10 years ago

Andreina, Yquem is lovely, and singular. I'm also very fond of Rieussec, another big, intense Sauternes, though less costly.

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2005

Many champagnes boast of their biscuity and brioche characteristics but in fact only deliver notes of ripe green apples. Not so this wine. Golden colour and very, very fine mousse. The initial flavour is white fruit, stone fruit and a lovely floral character. Then come the baked goods: brioche, biscuits, baked apples. This is very long and extremely fine - amazing delicate feel for a wine with such weight and complexity. A delight. — 12 years ago

Yves Cuilleron a Chavanay

Les Chaillets Condrieu Viognier 2014

Nose: elegant and voluptuous bouquet of apricot, stone fruit, tangerine, honey, citrus, tropical fruit (pineapple and mango), floral note, Turkish delight, and a tiny hint of oak - never too much
Palate: very elegant and rounded flavours. Stone fruit and citrus first, then honey and flowers and tropical. All with an excellent acidity to balance it all. Long palate and great complexity
