Val de Mer French Sparkling Brut Nature Rosé Blend

Very good. Slightly sweet, could be a good digestif too. Medium bubbles. Almost fruity flavour — 9 years ago

Château Phélan Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Opened for science and found it to be surprisingly open. Classic Cab/ Mer balance with unsubtle but not overwhelming oak and, a day after having a supermarket bottle of Baron de Brane with similar thoughts, makes me wonder if most Bordeaux tastes about the same, if I have a crappy palate, if we are all subject to the narcissism of small differences or all three. Thoroughly enjoyable. I feel like Guy Fieri right now. — 9 years ago

And that's a completely false comparison: even if you tried, you'll never, ever suck as bad as Fieri

Mer Soleil

Central Coast Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 1997

Colour made me go 'ahum'..: Amber-orange-gold.
Nose is dominated by caramel, butterscotch, roasted nuts. Evolved, mature. Sure. Clearly this was better, fresher, a few years ago.
But in the mouth it's still surprisingly well balanced, not tired nor oxidised. Interesting notes of sweet tobacco, peach and orange marmelade, dried apricots, honey drizzled pecans. Very nice next to a salade of grilled veggies and Iberico ham!

Don't let the name fool you, this is absolutely delicious, with quince, petrol and Granny Smith apple notes, and a touch of barnyard funk...drink this with pont leveque or a strong Camembert. — 9 years ago

Mer Soleil

Reserve Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2014

BIG California chardonnay. Pineapple, caramel, buttery oak. Smooth finish lingers nicely. Low acid makes it feel a little flabby, but the tropical fruit/oak flavors make up for that. Went nicely with roasted shrimp. Christmas present from JH from Vin Chicago — 8 years ago
