Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1975

I've never had a Cork fly out with an explosion before - I thought it corked and vinegar for cooking! However 1975 proved me wrong. Smooth a rich on the tongue a pleasure for the palate — 9 years ago

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Fabulous bottle starting to come into its own. Round, full, and deep but with enough tannin to give perfect balance. Nice complexity. First I’ve tried from this maker but definitely not the last. With Rod and chef Boulud at cellar raid — 7 years ago

Joseph Swan Vineyards

Russian River Valley Mourvèdre 1995

Still very dark color, complex aromas of tree bark and medium-ripe blackfruits, quite dense and rich, yet balanced w/excellent acidity, very long finish, I'd guess this will go another 10-20 years, easily. Outstanding!! 12.5% ABV, 85 year old vines. Kudos to Rod!!! — 9 years ago

Bear Republic Brewing Company

Hop Rod Rye 1995

I'm an IPA guy, but this is a great alternative. Full bodied, but not the overwhelming taste of a stout. Great crossover for an IPA drinker as it has just a bit of hoppy bite to satisfy just about anyone. — 10 years ago

Lovely chablis that unfortunatelly did not fly just yet. — 10 years ago

Level 185 Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2015

A Kiwi SB with a citric punch, this excellent white has a floral nose, lemongrass and lime flavors up front, leading into a palate cleansing lemon zest finish. It went well with blackened tilapia and steamed green beans. — 8 years ago
