Magnum 1990 A. Rousseau Clos St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin. J&D B brought for our dinner together at Vin. K and I had never had this particular wine in large format before and it was unbelievably fantastic! Couldn't get over how good this wine was. It was just so balanced with absolutely no harsh edges to it and a finish that just kept going. Truly one of the best wines we can remember having. — 10 years ago

Magnum 1997 Dal Forno Romano Amarone dell Valpolicella. Drank at Reddwood lunch w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H. Third of the red lineup. Neither K nor I had tasted this before and it was delicious. Enormous and inky. It was just massive both in flavor and how it coated the mouth. Slight sweetness. Very cool to try! — 10 years ago

Chris Ringland 가 WineMaker를 했네요
첫잔을 따르니 세월이 작 녹아 들어가 있는 체리빛 색상으로 불곤스러운 자태를 보여주네요
아로마는 약간의 동물적인 가죽냄새를 시작으로, 시나몬, 레드베리의 느낌이 잘 느껴집니다.
밸런스도 잘잡혀 있구요. 무베드르의 특징을 아주 잘 뽑아준 와인입니다.

2007 Peter Michael Point Rouge Chardonnay. HB w MnD and J&D B. We loved this wine wine so much at the Heart concert and we loved it tonight. Floral, along with notes of buttery brioche and oak. However, somewhat surprisingly, as we drank this in comp to the 2013 Ridge Monte Bello Chardonnay, it did not win out. Still such a great wine that we really, really enjoyed. — 10 years ago

Cuvée Spéciale Chigny-les-Roses 1er Cru Brut Rosé Champagne

Delicious bottle of rosé Champagne. Nice depth from extended time on lees. Hard to take it seriously b/c of its ridiculous Waterford-like bottle, but don't pass this up if given the opportunity. — 11 years ago
