Domaine Leroy

Les Cazetiers Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1949

Vintage 1949 in Burgundy according to Broadbent: “..most perfect end of a decade - elegant, well-balanced wines”; Clive Coates in his book Cote D'Or: "best vintage of 40's all-perfect beauty and purity”; Robert M. Parker Jr.: “it was the best of post world war II vintages before 1959”
Henri Leroy at that time was négociant based in Auxey-Duresses, his mythical daughter Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1949 was only seventeen.
Les Cazetiers is amongst the most elevated of Premier Cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin - and indeed the whole of Burgundy.
I drank this precious bottle on Mount Etna with #FrankCornelissen and other dear friends. Uncork this bottle lead to a surgical operation. Just begun to pull it out, a light breath of wine molecule with air bubbles magically have emerged on the surface of the cork. It's been like witness the passing away of a dying old man (or Pinot Noir must be a woman?) That humanized wine had held "élan vital", hope and breath inside him for the last 66 years! A miracle of a wine still so tasty, robust, citrusy, vibrant, earthy, incredibly alive and well-preserved despite color and neck level did not bode so well.. that's what I thought and I'll remember until I die: "the wine was waiting for us to drink it up, he gave off his mortal blow to offer us life, joy and smile!"

Seghesio Family Vineyards

Sonoma County Zinfandel 2014

Wines are a nexus of time, place, food, friends, mood, and opportunity. Not to mention their roots of vigneron, climate, and terroir. Tonight, post-flight, in a cool Baltimore area steakhouse, jazz licks flying, and a meal of tasty barbecued mushroom filet, this bottle lived up to its full potential with plush spicy ripe dark berries, decent acidity, mild smooth tannins, and comforting freshness. Happy Monday, Delectable Nation! — 8 years ago

815 California Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Recommended by friends, this is a delicious, consistently good, economical full-bodied Cabernet. Great for entertaining and won't break the bank. One of the better Cabs I've had at this price. — 8 years ago

Lake Breeze Wines

Bernoota Shiraz-Cabernet Blend 2009

Fantastic wine!
Deep Ruby red. Incredibly aromatic with the nose evolving astoundingly over time. Make sure you follow its progress. Starting with lavender, dried violets and mint. Moving to a choc-mint and chutney and then cinnamon and mint. The palate also evolves with the nose. It lands with cooking chocolate, menthol and cooking spice with a full and luxurious mouth feel, surprisingly light tannins and mild acidity. It could probably pair slow cooked meets and root vegetables but I recommend you pair this wine only with good friends as an after dinner experience.
