Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

High Mountain Vines Mendoza Chardonnay 2013

Beautiful pale gold, super crisp and acidic with buttery straw and a hint of banana. We had it with salmon and it's beautiful. No oak on this. — 10 years ago

Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2007

Had over the course of a couple of nights. First night was a classic Chinon on the nose and palate, although a little lighter bodied than many other Olgas I have had. Good spice on the palate and barnyard on the nose. Second night the nose was similar but the palate mellowed. A solid Chinon but not the best I've had. Still a good value in the high-20s. — 10 years ago

Hype around the 1998, 1999 brings the funk, high praise for the 2001 but 2000 is my vintage. — 10 years ago

Brut Champagne Blend 2004

Crisp and a little creamy. Pretty but not memorable. No hangover so maybe there is some truth to what they say about high vs low quality champagne. — 10 years ago
