In Good Taste
Dominus Estate
Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001
Taittinger
Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2000
Light straw gold. Impactful effervescent nose with notes of bread yeast, lemon, marzipan and apricot. Vibrant in the mouth. Expands and has a long finish. Expect this will get better and more complex with a bit more age. Really good right now tho. — 9 years ago
The Prisoner Wine Company
The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend
Wow... So many flavors in this wine. It's quite a treat to your mouth. Smooth with a great mid taste and a long finish — 10 years ago
Ridge Vineyards
Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2010
Amazing bouquet of dried flowers. It’s mesmerizing how Ridge Zins have a Bordeaux taste of red fruit and mushrooms. Great drinking in the sun with tri-tip. — 8 years ago
Robert Mondavi Winery
Private Selection Aged in Bourbon Barrels Monterey County Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Smooth finish, love this addition from Mondavi. Can taste the hint of bourbon — 8 years ago
Caymus Vineyards
Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
If you have to drink a 2011 Napa Cabernet, this is the one. Overcomes the flimsiness and off-centered taste of many of its peers. Blueberry, suggestive of Alexander Valley cabs, is present in spades, and wonderful, smooth, and satisfying midpalate and finish. — 10 years ago
Produttori del Barbaresco
Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Good anise, forest floor, spices to round out the dark fruit. Love the rose petal notes. Tannins are elegant but would love to taste this again in a few years. — 8 years ago
Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Blend 1990
Received this bottle as an engagement gift in '03; opened it on Thanksgiving to celebrate the engagement of some dear friends. Astonishingly good. Vanilla, caramel, only slight effervescence. One of the most special and delicious and soulful wines I've ever tasted. — 8 years ago
Château Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Medium tawny but still intense in the center. In relatively good shape and still very lively with a tannic backbone to keep the wine structured. Edit — 9 years ago
Belle Glos
Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013
Smooth & rich & really good. Deep red in color. Served chilled. Had with Jenna at J. Gilbert's 09/27/15 — 10 years ago
Bret Barker
It’s just so good when it touches your lips. Still deep purple in color with mocha, currant, cherry , licorice touch of mineral and tobacco. Very Bordeaux like and very awesome — 7 years ago
