Re runs of Baywatch. Hot dogs. Slip n Slides. Aint nothing wrong with celebrating and proudly admiring the gratuitous and guilty pleasures in life. This stuff is great! After all.....no reason to be a "prisoner" to over priced gunk. Nor regard something as a "special selection" when its mass produced to the tune of 45000 cases. Less than 15k made of this bad boy! And did I mention.... A glow in the dark label!? Genius! Mustache rides anyone? — 11 years ago

I ain't proud. Yeah it is roughly that time of year again. A time of dread (why I don't know; after all it is only Gamay, unlikely to hurt you). This one is good, though. Showing a richness and depth unlikely in the typical corporate offering. Plum jam, and blueberry jelly, even a little strawberry, and toasted marshmallow nose. The palate is grapey with a tangerine note beneath; raspberry soda pervades. That signature Brouilly or Morgon powdered grape persistence. For what it is: a winner! What it tells us about Pinot, I have no f---ing idea! — 12 years ago

I felt a bit guilty to make mimosa wit this. It ended up with the very best mimosa I've ever had. It just melted down inside the freshly squeezed orange juice. — 10 years ago

Guilty summer pleasure 1.0. Great little white burgundy with some sap, terroir, and hint of butter goodness. Last 3 bottles may not make it through the Summer — 10 years ago

Sparkling red wine might be my guilty pleasure, though I prefer the frizzante style better (please correct me if I'm wrong and there is no difference between frizzante and full sparkling!) — 11 years ago

Luscious and plummy, and the tannins still have some grip. 70% new French oak rounds this out very nicely. A (not so) guilty pleasure. — 11 years ago

Exceptionally drinkable for the price. I feel guilty referring to it as "table wine". Lush, mature, earthy with dry red fruit and sturdy tannins. — 12 years ago

I almost feel guilty posting this, as the opportunity to taste such an extraordinary wine comes so rarely. Deep and rich, with amazing balance for a young Port. Years to go - — 12 years ago

This is my go to chardonnay I keep on hand. I don't feel guilty drinking it may myself. As a rule I steer clear of any chardonnay under $30, but at half that price this is well worth it. Great introductory wine. Must be cold. As it warms it becomes cloying sweet and kind of syrupy. — 11 years ago

Guilty of using it a gin and tonic and it was out of this world. Out of this world neat also! I like Black Forest cake too. Just sayin'. — 11 years ago

Trial over. Guilty on all counts. Justice prevails. Let's open some stuff. I'm a sucker for texture, and this wine has it in spades. Super silky mouth-feel. Smoked meats and bacon fat on the palate. Gamey, earthy, super dense. Lengthy finish. Just can't keep my hands off these wines now, but my guess is that they will just get better with time. — 11 years ago

A surprise this aged blend of Grenache and Carignan - smooth tannins, round wine focused on light fruits, light rustic wild notes with aromatics herbal and tertiary aromas - the domaine have a few old wines for a very fair price - a great discovery thanks to the Grenache Association 😀 — 12 years ago
