@Shanon Markward the best white yet from WINC!

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2007

Quite the birthday dinner. By far the best wine paring I have ever had with a dinner. Now it’s time to go run the Chicago Marathon! Lightning minerality, fresh lemon zest, smell of brioche dough about to go into a warm oven. Great way to start the meal of a lifetime. — 6 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

Big Opus One fan. So far I find most ‘07’s to not be as great as the wine reviewers predicted. Still very good though. — 7 years ago

Seems like the wine reviewers thought 2007 was supposed to be a fantastic vintage. I’m not finding that with some of the usual wines I drink. The 2007’s aren’t living up to the hype the (originally anyway) received. The opposite for me is the ‘11’s. Not rated well in general, but I’ve had some 11’s that I preferred over many other vintages from the same producer. Maybe I need to have the ‘11 Opus One and compare.

The 07 was my favorite, probably because it was the least Bordeauxish Opus I’ve had, not into those Dominus styled wines.

Maybe that’s why. I like the Bordeauxish Opus style. Even though I drink mostly CA cabs, I prefer the old world blends.

Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2017

Not a good vintage, but according to the experts it's ready. After it opened up, it was great.

Katie guessed a 2018 Chianti... not too far off.

Side by side taste of Dry Aged vs Wagyu Striploin. Happy long weekend.

EnRoute Winery

Les Pommiers Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2017

EnRoute, established 2007 in Russian River Valley by the partners of Napa’s Far Niente winery. An outstanding wine, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe fruit flavors with subtle notes of earth and spice. On the palate cherry and ripe red plum, savory with gentle herb spice. Smooth fine ripe tannins, well balanced on long finish ending with perfect earthy character. Very Nice! — 6 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1980

The 1980 vintage in Sauternes was challenging to say the least but Chateau D’Yquem has crafted one of the shining stars of the vintage. Aromatically quite expressive, the Sauternes takes the lead with candied ginger, lychee, apricot and shades of bananas foster that all sing in unison. The palate comes off with an unusual combination of sweet and sour tones, with a strong vein of salinity that races through the core of quince, sour apricot, vanilla creme brûlée and roasted pineapple flavors. Texturally elegant, this is far less on the unctuous side of D’Yquem, but has a beautiful feeling of refinement, freshness and elegance. Still humming at the forty year mark, the 1980 D’Yquem will provide drinking enjoyment for at least another five to ten years. Drink 2020-2027- 94 — 5 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1993

Coravin with lowest expectations was the highlight after 1 hr glass decant. Dense, full-bodied, dominated by sweet oak and cedar. Creme de cassis and Asian spice. Far better than expected. - Robbie’s, London — 8 years ago

Huge fan of leoville Barton. They may not make a 100 rated wine but consistently solid. They last forever and well priced.
