Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

An elegant wine that shows its class in a tough vintage. Dried flowers, sweet rich cassis, blacktop. The real star tonight was the venue. About 35 minutes out from my old country farm and located in Kinston, NC is The Chef and the Farmer by Vivian Howard. An amazing farm to table with flair creation in the food graveyard of Eastern NC. Extraordinary apps and entrees, fresh modern but comfortable environs and friendliness from everyone....and I'm confident they have the best wine list for 250 miles. A true destination dining experience. Thank you @DAG for the recommendation and intro. — 9 years ago

Bring your "A" game, Bill. I think that Christanna is also stepping up. Game on... My cellar is mostly euro - France, Italy. I have some great convict wines, but I think they won't tuck in seamlessly on the 15th.

"Farmer" IOS Aphrodite Kiss Rosé Blend 2015

Erik Helms
9.0

This rose made from Agiorgitiko is nearly red in color. The nose is quite floral, with jasmine and rose petal. The palate leans much heavier towards expressive ripe fruit. Peach, sour cherry, and strawberry are balanced well with nice acid and heavier tannin. Food is recommended, this is a serious rose. — 9 years ago

Elke Vineyards

Donnelly Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

A farmer turned producer. Mary grew grapes for many of the big names before starting her own tiny little label. I keep thinking this 07 will be ready to drink but it continues to improve. Not even close to peak yet. The 94 overall rating on delectable says it all. Great pinot. — 9 years ago

Brut Réserve Champagne Blend

Wow!! Fantastic farmer fizz. Seriously hits all the right Champagne notes for me. Nose is concentrated and generous with rich toasted nuts, fresh croissant, baked yellow apple, and a truckload of crushed chalk. The palate surprises with much more precision than the richer nose might indicate, which I LOVE and makes for a really interesting juxtaposition. Hits you with a heavy dose of crushed chalk, which opens up to lemon meringue and crisp orchard fruit, which then gives way to a yeasty, croissant finish, carried from attack to finish with rippling waves of laser-focused acidity and a fine mousse of bubbles. That fine mousse and skillfully managed lees aging provides some nice body, although it's still very lively and nimble. Just... so fucking tasty. — 9 years ago

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Brusco dei Barbi Toscana IGT Sangiovese 2013

Takes its name from the free-spirited gentleman named Bruscone who lived in the woods of the Barbi Estate. Ruby with bright aromas of red berry fruits and wild flower notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors, well balanced with avidity & fine tannins. Lingering finish ending with earthy tones. Nice value. — 8 years ago

Rene Rostaing

La Landonne Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2004

We can throw around the idea of a classical wine or producer, but there are precious few that are true classics. This is one. If lightly peppered red berries were made of liquid silk, that would be almost as smooth as the palate of this. Aromatically, this is a fresh summer bouquet of florals & herbs. Just a stunner & showstopper. Will go a bit longer, but in an excellent place to enjoy right now. @Matthew Bigby you are a gentleman & a scholar for sharing this. — 9 years ago

This vineyard is amongst the steepest I've walked. Also, has some of the hardest soil one will see but it produces amazing wines. Rene and his son Pierre produce some of the best wines in Rhone. Interesting enough, 100% of his production goes to the US. Lucky us!!!

@David Trumper Hello David. Interesting fact. Are you sure it is 100% though? Because one of the local importers sells this wine too (and I am from Russia). Well, guess you are no less lucky even if you get 99% though ;)

That is what I was told. However, there is no way to know what an importer or reseller might choice to do with his wine once it lands in the U.S..
