Domaine Le Grand Retour

Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu Red Rhone Blend 2012

Leather, savory, jammy but with nice acid, stone fruit, dried roses, some pepper, a little ballpoint pen. From 7th Avenue Liquors. — 11 years ago

Osprey's Dominion Vineyards

Flight Meritage Red Wine 2007

Best red from Osprey's so far. Floral bouquet with berries and a hint of tobacco. No discordant notes with a lingering, pleasant finish. Standing up to and getting along just fine with blue cheese. A keeper. #everydaygems — 11 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1964

Dom Perignon 1964, in magnum, shared today with Jacques Pepin on a Global Express 5000 to the Aspen Classic. I brought a Spanish porron (i.e., wine bong) and Jacques was game. Incredibly, the Champagne still had bubble, along with terrific hazelnut, brioche flavors. The landing was extra smooth and Jacques – In his cool broken English – said he thought it was because the flight attendant must have slipped him some of the DP. Fine by me. Best pre-1970's Champagne I've had.
