Tenuta Dei Sette Cieli

Yantra Maremma Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

This was the less bold newer version of a Tuscan as a follow up to the Super Tuscan before. Nice and mellow wine. Had with Frank and Mariane in Carmel by the Sea. Go figure... Italian in CA? — 8 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

The Discussion Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

OUTSTANDING. Probably my favorite all day (also the most expensive I had all day. Go figure). — 9 years ago

Gilbert Cellars

Allobroges Wahluke Slope Grenache Blend

Solid gsm. Grenache dominant gives it a fruitier edge and softer tannic body. Lightly arromatic, brighter red fruit dominates, with a decent spice note in mid palette (Mourvedre is 27%, so go figure). This is an easy sipper and, to me, a little more like a typical French gsm. I think I prefer the Mourvedre dominant gsm blends coming out of Rotie, B. Leighton Cellars, and elsewhere, but i might just be weird. :) — 9 years ago

La Garagista

Harlots & Ruffians White Blend

WOTN was a skin contact white field blend of weird hybrid varietals...from Vermont. Go figure. But truly compelling and beautifully detailed wine--orchard fruit and spice; some citrus and a hint of savory notes, like maybe beet or even horseradish. — 10 years ago

Had this with Coq a Vin. Extraordinary these 2007s have retained their fruit, nice mouthfeel, and a really long finish. Trying to figure out where they go from here, certainly this has time left. — 11 years ago

Vintage Brut Champagne Blend 1996

Very intense and bright. Tightly coiled with crystal clear detailed acid and a beautiful powerful middle. Incredible fruit and minerality bunched like a fist. Goes on for ages. The last few bottles I've tried have been advanced- this is a baby with huge promise. Go figure — 9 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1962

Sooooooo.. yeah. That happened. For real. First any d'yquem is cause for celebration. One significantly older than you is cause for alarm. Also from 375ml, so i would surmise "fully mature". Slight seepage, go figure, and during a cork test I got some movement out of it, so decided it was go time.

Note it was apparently still doing its job, the som got it out with my Durand in one piece. And yes. I will bring my Durand to a restaurant with old bottles for corkage because why would I want the poor som to go nuts and lose his mind with a screw-pull?

Colour was dark. Castrol gtx20-50 (used) with definite fading to amber. Reddish tones nearly through out. Browny honey y orangey colour as a whole, and remarkably dark.

Nose was intoxicating. As always. Very... bright. Alive. The aromas and high tones betrayed the dark colour. Honey, apricots, creme brulee scents poured forth readily, and i regret choosing to not give this wine a half hour in the decanter prior to consuming. Thicker than a regular white wine, but not like oil.

Still had some acidity. Texture was other worldly. Initial tastes were peary honey botritis fruity, and those faded to more stone fruit, apricots, honey comb, i swear light aromas of orange blossoms. We lingered with this for about an hour, well worth the time.

Schramsberg Vineyards

J. Schram 50th Anniversary Late Disgorged Sparkling Blend 1999

Glad we stocked up on these but we go through it so fast we really should stock more of the 100% Chardonnay, I mean, for a tenth of the price the value is undeniable and just makes every other bottle seem over priced. Sure it was awesome, but I can't get over the 3 figure price tag when there are better bottles from France at half the price. — 10 years ago

Alexander Valley Vineyards

Cyrus Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2005

Burnt candle wax notes improved to truffles! Go figure! Baked cherries black and bing, with tobacco sweetness, a touch of mint and rosemary, cedar, red currant, and a little grape bottle cap candy (in a good way). Cafe de leche with toffee, licorice and smoke. Really a charmer. This one evolved in the glass, showing so many interesting angles; muscled, but finesse through to the tangy, lip smacking, loitering finish. — 11 years ago

Bogle Family Vineyards

Essential Old Vine California Zinfandel Blend 2010

Was eating a Digorno spinach mushroom pizza and decided to try this; why not? For me, bold and not intimidated by the pizza. This needs a medium rare ribeye!
8/9/14: opened another bottle of this over a month ago: ugh! Rather than throw it out, I used an ornamental cork stopper & kept for cooking. Forgot about it until about 2 weeks ago... Took a taste: voila! It was great. Go figure!

Wow! That is a vinous, structured, nearly tannic rosé. A serious bottle with concentration, length and complexity. Where does the Pinot tannin end and the chalky minerality begin? I am happy to go back and try to@figure it out! — 9 years ago

Jonata Winery

Todos Ballard Canyon Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

I was recently at Jonata Winery and didn't try Todos Blend but did so at a tasting back east, go figure. It's a blend of 75% Syrah, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and adding Grenache, Sangiovese, Viognier, Petit Verdot & Metlot. Complex aromas of graphite, leather, almonds and damp earth. On the palate blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors, smooth tannins on a long finish ending with oak tones. Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago
