Domaine du Bagnol

Cassis Clairette Blend 2013

Crisp!!! Wow Such a saline quality. Peaches, flowers love sniffing this one. I wish I brought some Oysters. I am not sure why I bothered with the glass. Just bring a case to your next gathering and pass out bottles. Be the hero! — 10 years ago

Piña Cellars

D'Adamo Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Got some big new French oak, strawberry hay, dry clay, and spiked fireball candy on the nose. Ripe dark fruit right away, big tannins, this big boy needs some time to develop. Maybe a hint of cocoa on the finish after some time. Hopeful this will grow into a mature hero. — 10 years ago

Costers del Prior

Priorat Grenache Blend 2011

Whow, Rich, opulent and deep. Great wine, strawberry hero, but fruit is greatfully balanced by soft tannins & medium acidity, remarkable light but powerful like a Goliath, great Priorat. Nectar that will soothe your soul with spicy devil finish. Cheers

Domaine Etienne et Sébastien Riffault

Raudonas Sancerre Pinot Noir 2008

Roel van der Burg
9.6

Opera of raspberries. Had different experiences with this cuvée in the past, but this one was singing out loud! Poured by Sébastien himself in the cellar while he was still pressing the just harvested new vintage of Raudonas. He even took the time to put a fantastic plate of charcuterie on the table. Straight up hero! — 10 years ago

Domaine Michel Niellon

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 1993

Michel Niellon has long been a rather unsung hero in Burgundy and this '93 Batard was proof of that--so fresh and perfectly focused that it stands along side the likes of Leflaive et al--GLORIOUS! — 11 years ago

Sineann

Oregon Pinot Noir 2013

Tonight It is time for another Pinot!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sineann Pinot Noir 2013 from Oregon. The cork is GLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The color is pure scarlet! The boquet is strawberry, cherry, rose! The initial palate is spicy cherry tart! AMAZING! There is a hint of smoke and oak. SERIOUSLY! The finish is long and spicy for a pinot with a left over flavor of cherry jubilee! My goodness, this is amazing. Probably the best Pinot Noir I have ever had. If you like my wines I promise you will like this one. What a great summer Red!
Im buying a case! Good job Peter Rosback! My new hero in wine making! I can't wait to try your Cabernet!

Laphroaig

Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Experimenting with Islay, love the peat, especially as this one mellowed with the sherry cask. Bought it because Trevanian's hero in his book Eiger Sanction drank a lot of it and a skit have club member in Dawson, Yukon did so as well. — 10 years ago

Scarpetta

Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio 2013

So. Good. Bobby Stuckey is my hero. Wonderful, easy drinking and refreshing. Hints of grass, honeydew and melon with a mineral flair. Maybe a hint of truffle. — 10 years ago

Fattoria Selvanova

Hero Pallagrello Nero

Another grape I don't know much about (Pallagrello Nero). The wine is a lot racier and loud than I was expecting (especially given it was retailing for less than 20 usd). But the flavors seem more floral/rose-petaly/spicy/clovey rather than fruity/chocolate/vanilla. Lot of tannin. I chose the wrong dinner to make. This wine is going to curb stomp my pasta. Terrific wine though! — 10 years ago

Adastra

Proximus Pinot Noir 2009

Eddie Townsend
9.4

Merlot, the unsung hero of Carneros. Tannins and acid to go the distance. Powerful primary and secondary flavors that lift out of the glass and demand attention. It's making my bone-in-ribeye feel inferior and reminding me why I pursued a career in wine. Okay, I'll stop now:) — 11 years ago

Such infanticide I am seeing with these wines, but tasty nonetheless.
