Superior Grade Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon

Nice full bodied cab. Ripe cherries and blackberries on the nose with just a hint of oak. A bit astringent on the taste, but overall very nice with red meat. — 6 years ago

According to my dining and drinking companions, "Full-bodied, meaty, and smooth", " Everything you'd want in a Cab Sauv", "Reminds you of everything delicious", "I was in 5th grade in 2005". Hear, hear! 🍷 — 6 years ago

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2014

Drinks well above grade. For an entry level wine, just stunning. Has nectarine notes, good minerality, some tension. Better than 98% of Cal Chards. At $30 a bottle, an excellent value. Does Pierre Yves make any bad wines? — 7 years ago

Domaine du Gour de Chaulé

Cuvée Tradition Gigondas Grenache 2014

Molto delizioso. E gigondas che non ho una volta di assagiare anche ha una reputazione brava. Sarebbe in grade alto, ma per fortuna ho una volta di provare. Garnet wine aveva il sconto. Grazie garnet wine! — 6 years ago

Fermi Bohigas

Brut Reserva Catalunya Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

Plays above its pay grade. Complex and pleasing aromas, fine pillage, crisp and refreshing acids, soft textures, clean finish with stony and toasty notes. I think I paid around $15. Looking for a fine sparkler without breaking the bank? Go no further. — 7 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Has the grassy grapefruit you would expect from a NZ SB but it's complimented greatly with the taste of a sweeter stone fruit like guava. Grade A 10/10 would buy again. — 7 years ago
