I've been a sucker for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc well before Cloudy Bay was bought by LVMH in 2003. The fresh cut grass, gooseberry, lime, melon, and exotic herbaceousness that pervades the finish never fails to satisfy the wineaux and the hedonist in me. — 8 years ago

Was on the search for a Reisling after reading "A hedonist in the cellar", which I highly recommend! Wine was crisp, big flavors of lemon and pear, with a great combination of sweet and sourness! Simply yummy! — 9 years ago

Classic Aussie Shiraz at its best: ripe fruits and tannins with grainy oak giving the wine a lasting structure. — 9 years ago

A.R. Lenoble is a very transparent producer and gives full information about the wine's makeup: 88% grand Cru Chardonnay from Chouilly with 12% still premier cru pinot noir from Bisseuil. Most of the wine is from 2011 with 15% reserve from 2010. The result is a finely honed wine with delicate aromas and deep flavors. There is a stunning elegance to this wine with a strong mineral component that is often overshadowed in more pinot-heavy rosés. This is a very particular wine, more for the connoisseur than the hedonist (not that one can't be both!). Excellent mousse, lovely pale salmon pink color, crisp acidity and a beautiful wine for food. It has great "nerve" and has great quality for the price. — 10 years ago

Dancing with bears tonight. It took me more than an hour to teach this bear the Texas Two Step, but after that we were cutting a rug. The initial bright red fruit notes eventually slide into a darker, richer profile of blackberry, charcoal, currant, cassis, and a mix of dark and milk chocolate. What really takes this from good to great is the constant background of baking bread infused with rosemary. For the hedonist, this is a pure pleasurefest, with more than enough complexity and nuance to satisfy the intellectual, but like a soaring ballad, the real appeal here is to the romantic. — 7 years ago

Hedonist wine. You cannot believe this is a 2006. Complex Fruit bomb that remind me to a young caymuss SS. — 9 years ago

Tamarind, cranberry, red cherry, and mild tannins for the Nebbiolo variety. Delicious for a hedonist and appreciable for one that loves the Piedmontese original in an extremely warm climate. — 9 years ago

Who says rosé doesn't age! Grapefruit zest, unripe nectarine, sea salt, jamón Ibérico... Not for the hedonist crowd, but still delicious. — 10 years ago

The throwbacks continue...awesome turkey day wine number one. Bright aromatics, copious Russian river fruit and spice. Hedonist Pinot. Deceptively balanced despite the ABV. — 9 years ago

This wine speaks to my inner hedonist. One sip and my taste buds were transported on a magical journey. Very succulent with just the right amount of acidity and soft tannins. Wonderful balance of dark fruits, spices and earthy minerality characteristic of priorats. Impressive depth and intensity. Just an overall wonderful priorat with a nice balance of flavors. Enjoy now for a special occasion or any occasion! No regrets with this one. — 10 years ago
