Each week, my 2.5yr old twins have "homework" which requires picking household items that start with a given letter. This week is "I" (there's no "I" in team, or kicking off many household items that would fit in a paper bag and don't melt!). Anywho, It Inspired me to pop this reasonably priced late harvest (Icewine), which Is sweet, refreshing, and even elegant for a very reasonable price. I also included a DVD of Ice Castles - who doesn't love that movie?!?! That and Splendor in the Grass - they get me every. single. time. — 10 years ago

Paul Lato

Atticus John Sebastiano Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011

Apologetically I have forgotten all the lovely details about this wine, but I remember it being fantastic and worth the higher price and allocation tactics. Happily am hanging on to many Latos from this vintage and am so excited about it 👍🏼 obviously inspired by good burgundy...and manages to be very natural, not much dress up is being played here that's for sure. Happily puzzled and surprised. 👊🏼 — 10 years ago

Domaine Machard de Gramont

"Les Houillières" Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2011

This wine has inspired me to make some sort of dessert with roasted yellow apples and pears, sweetened with honey, and topped with whipped cream, and I need to figure out the savory-but-oh-so-good smokey element. Or I could just drink it... — 11 years ago
