A fantastic red blend! Pairs well with vegan buffalo wings! — 9 years ago

Nicolas Joly

Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc 2010

Deep -- and I do mean *deep* -- gold in the glass. Big nose of golden delicious apples, wet hay, and caramel corn. Voluptuous full body and medium plus acidity wrap up the multi-layered palate of baked apple, straw, dry caramel, and any number of other flavors depending on where it is in the pass through the mouth. Hearty. A meal in itself, but oh how it shines with scallops and risotto! — 9 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2007

Absolutely amazing. Lots of good brett. Balanced and delicious. Great dark fruit aromas and flavors. So smooth. Medium high tannins and acidity. Perfect silky texture. A little funk on the nose and palate (positive). Aroma and flavors are out of this world. Leather bag full of cherries and raspberries. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carmenere. Complex. Delicious 13.5% abv — 10 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Who am I to criticize a bottle of Mouton Rothschild? Amazing, no doubt. But didn't feel balanced. Great funk on the nose. High acidity and overall mild. — 10 years ago

Bodega Colomé

Auténtico High Altitude Vineyards Salta Malbec

My kind of Malbec-excellent balance, emphasis on freshness, acidity, but the black fruit shines as well, alcohol completely in check. My go to wine shop thought this was their best malbec (out of many) & I agree — 8 years ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

High Mountain Vines San Carlos Cabernet Franc 2014

Smells of an old Tobacco factory after a rainstorm.

Gentle and precise, a flash of bright fruit, Then a touch of saline, a hint of garden vegetable, well rounded acids and and and exhale of vanilla tannins.

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

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

Dom Pérignon

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

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. — 11 years ago
