A depth and richness only found in the US interpretation of picpoul thanks to a UGA boy; fine with sea bass and mashed spuds — 8 years ago

I like this almost as much as the Count's* Terry Thomas moustache. A cassis-fest of sweet fruit with good structure, over-delivering for a weak vintage.

2006 Salmon Undhof Kögl Riesling held up well, as expected. Defined structure, elegant yet not at all overbearing. What a middle- aged Riesling should be. 13.5% vol, a Terry Theise selection. — 9 years ago

1st bottle was very corky. Second had good concentrated grenache fruit showing through. It's a 50-50 G/S blend. Also...some spicey ground pepper, a polished texture, and nice length.. Well made — 10 years ago

Great, light white wine but with some body - mostly Grenache blanc and Roussanne, which gives it a slightly fruity and honey flavor but well balanced. Not too sweet. — 11 years ago

V13. Creme brûlée nose. But terry, melon and pear fruit with a creamy, toasty oak finish. Beautiful wine. — 8 years ago

Very deep red color, mineral, clean, very long on smell. Meaty, silky, full bodied, rounded, very well balanced, coffee, cocoa. Perfect to pair with typical roasted baby pig. Just for a very special event. Bought at the winery in our last trip where they explained to us its very special production process. — 8 years ago

Right away this wine was very smooth, it didn't need any time to aerate. This was a very delicious wine that had plenty of flavor. — 9 years ago

A testament to the ageability of quality producers at even entry level Mosel Qmp. In the glass, still some silver and green. Low alc, so obviously little tearing (I keep hearing tearing is viscosity, but from a chemistry standpoint, it's rate of alcohol evaporation). Acidity, so on point and defining. Chemical petrol wafts off, dried moss, oregano, candied orange peel, zest, orange blossom...it kind of shows off for a while.

For $25 from a Terry Theise pre-sale, this is a goddamned steal. I'd pay twice this and smile while doing it. Buy it by the case, where you can find it. — 10 years ago

Marc Hebrart Cuvée de Réserve Premier Cru Brut Champagne à Mareuil-sur-Ay | Dégorgé le 04 janvier 2013 | 12% | Terry Theise says the fruit of Mareuil Pinot Noir is unlike any he knows in Champagne: “firmer and less malty than Aÿ, altogether less chunky than Bouzy, not unlike Verzy but richer, far more comme il faut than the savage power of Verzenay, less softly perfumey than Ambonnay, less smoky than Cumières. Indeed if it were Burgundy, Mareuil could well be Morey-St.-Denis.” Which might be why I love this so –and for its swooning scent of rye dough and bright Mirabelle plum which speaks of the fruity pumpernickel of the Vallée de la Marne within Champagne –even though it doesn’t have any Pinot Meunier –chalky, tangy with apple skin tannins and a chirping texture and fragrantly flavored finish, this is LOVELY! — 12 years ago

Disgorged 2016. According to a friend who worked at Veuve nearby, Arnaud's wines sell out quick at the winery each year. Can certainly see why - this cuvee drinks so well. Fruit driven, with a solid core of apple, pears, and lemon curd. Oh so floral, nutty, yeasty. Reminded me of walnut butter, and MO of gruyere. I also got this pleasant vanillin tones in the finish.

Notes from Skurknik:
I wish I were named “Cuvée le Brut instead of my actual name, Gibbery Wobblestein. “Terry Theise” is a pseudonym. To the matter at hand—this superb non-vintage is 55% 2013 and the balance is 25% ’12, 10% ’11 and 10% ’06; deg 1/2016, it’s an exceedingly refined, high-toned classic Margaine, White-flowers, with sushi-knife cut and chisel, and overtones of jasmine. This wine rides the thin line between Chardonnay and Riesling, and when it’s on form it’s a thorough original, and one of my most beloved Champagnes. 92-8 CH/PN. — 8 years ago

Brilliant wine, salty, bread dough, with caramel and roasted nuts. The oxidized component here impeccably weaves the aromas, flavors and offsets with enough freshness to keep things light on their feet. A long, clean and focused finish. #sherry #palocortado #casilla — 10 years ago

Wonderful nicely aged Rioja. Brickish brownish red. Almost opaque. Wonderful briary nose of red fruit and a little anise. With air the mouthfeel built and matched the great nose. Med plus finish. — 10 years ago
