Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

The nose on this gives off an impression of zinfandel, jammy and peppery red and black fruits dominate. The palate compares abd goes well with the charred mid-rare filet I had. I say 8.9 because it's a damn good value for a Paso cab, or really any cab for that manner. — 9 years ago

Dry Fino Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

So dry it's almost salty, this was bready and had cracker-like crunch to it, with a cider-like note, and no sort of cheesy funk. Paired with a green olive, transformed into green apple juice...I want this as an aperitif at my next meal! — 10 years ago

Bien Nacido Syrah 2001

'01, kind of shocking grocery store find. Mocha, licorice, spice and a little bbq smoke. Some black and blueberry hanging in there. Very good. What was it like in '10? — 8 years ago

Four Top Santa Barbara County Merlot Blend 2007

Insane fruit forward Jamminess, but super tight until about an hour in. Let it sit, and it's a treat for an aged marbled steak. Delicious for the price at Whole Foods $19.99 — 8 years ago

Hometown Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2012

I always have enjoyed the wines of Hartley Ostini. Found this today for $16.99. What a bargain. Dark cherry turning to strawberry finishing about an hour and a half later with balanced spice and dark fruit. Beautiful wine. Caution: you may want more than one bottle. — 10 years ago
