St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Nice 2004, that was very pleasant to zip on but also worked well with a nice fillet steak on the bbq and lime inspired fresh summer salad... Still hang nicely in the back of your mouth..

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. — 9 years ago

I'm hoping it elicits a hearty chuckle from their teachers.... 😉

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... — 10 years ago
