Big Bad Baptist Exponential Series Imperial Stout 2016

Pours a thick dark black with almost no head. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, molasses, and bourbon all playing nicely with each other with no one flavor overpowering the others. A very nice barrel aged stout. — 9 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

This is as good as Bordeaux gets. Pure perfection in a glass and got even better with an hour+ in the decanter. Wonderful earthy notes, Forrest floor, leather, spice, faint menthol and bell pepper, floral, cigar and some dark fruits finished with the kiss of God and a drop of angel tears. One of the few wines I've ever had that I would rate 100 and an epic experience. — 10 years ago

Keuka Spring Vineyards

Epic Reserve Red Blend

Black cherry, raspberry currant, licorice, dried herbs, dusty leather and oak. Great structure and well-integrated tannins. — 10 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1982

Epic! Right in the sweet spot! absolute textbook G.C.C. that is perfect proof the 1855 is a joke! I sincerely hope it never gains the Unesco status some privileged Bordelais estates are hoping for, if this is considered 'fifth league'. Champagne & Burgundy bravo however! Truly deserving of their hard-fought Unesco world heritage status. — 11 years ago

1993 Domaine Dujac 1st Cru Les Gruenchers Burgundy. Drank at The Grill on the Alley w K, McC, and Gill. Awesome treat to try this wine. Was in perfect shape, despite its age and this might have been our fave of the night. Def notes of plum still lingering on this wine. Epic. — 11 years ago

Gomba Boschetti

Sorì Boschetti Barolo Nebbiolo 2001

This was epic! Beautiful nose with amazing barnyard character. Almost smelled French. On the palate great minerality, great texture, fine tannins and fruit! Could have gone for many more years. Had with braised ribs in port wine reduction sauce. — 12 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1987

Last bottle in the cellar of this vintage and almost regret opening on a burger night except, got to enjoy with a good friend. I'd give this a top ten wines I've ever had rating. Perhaps top 5. Drinking beautifully with subtle fruit and smooth silky feel. This wine was amazing...epic — 10 years ago

Stone Brewing Co.

Vertical Epic Ale 2007

I know this site is mainly for wine, but nothing like a 7 year old beer to renew your faith in local brewing. Dried bananas mixed with candied lime zest with a bit of barleywine style malt on the finish. Amazing. — 12 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2001

This is the best wine I have ever had in my entire life. It's the embodiment of everything burgundy is supposed to be. Completely and totally epic and transcendent. Drinking perfectly. Aromas of ripe strawberries, macerated raspberries, soft red cherries, all spice, and magic! On a scale of 1-10 this wine is a 79. — 10 years ago

2001 Case Basse Di Gianfranco Soldera Riserva Brunello. Drank this at Toscana w JM and others. First red of the night and this was epic. We thought it would be too young- decanted an hour or so. It was perfect. So smooth, rich, no hard edges, velvety, and long finish. This was my fave bottle of this wine we've ever had. KLD agreed it was showing perfectly. — 10 years ago

That's a lot of life succinctly memorialized😎🍷🌀 was that a personal stash, or maybe found at a noted keeper of antiquities (ex. Bern's Steak House, Tampa)?
