Good at 55 degrees, but even better at 40! Nose of strawberries, brie, walnut, sourdough bread. Enters with small bubbles, crisp, acidity in check. Crisp red apple, strawberries, hint of young raspberry. Finishes with more rounded edges and creamier notes -- strawberry sorbet! I would have never guessed that this was an 06 Vintage Rose. I think this one has a whole LOT of life left in it and will keep all the other bottles in the back! Went insanely well with a pastrami sandwich with coleslaw and bacon! — 6 years ago

Thank you to my good friend Andy Bunch for bringing this beer to try tonight. A rare treat for sure. Took a while to open up, bit man, it’s hitting its stride a couple hours later with notes of semi sweet chocolate, espresso liquor, brownie batter, vanilla, toasted nuts and almond oil. A rich brew with a 15%+ ABV. Black as old motor oil and super mouth coating. Yum yum yum. — 7 years ago

Ali Story, of Smith-Story Wines, was in town and did a nice tasting at Classic today. A pleasure to meet and very unique and enjoyable wines.

Neat story behind this wine. Ali & Eric have a golden doodle named Lord Sandwich. He’s known for stealing socks. They created this NV “kitchen sink” field blend (zin, Petite Sirah, carignan, Pinot noir) as “his wine” where proceeds go to those who need socks. Some older wine is put in to this so it was surprisingly mellow for a zin/PS blend. Cherry, Blackberries, plum, & violet. — 8 years ago

With a classic jambon baguette sandwich it was perfect. Fresh acids, herbal but reserved nose, pretty long on the palate. Although I slightly preferred the new world example , Pyramid Valley Cab Franc Howell Family Vyd 2007. — 9 years ago

If you can find this (and can afford to) BUY ALL OF THEM. Lighter than a red but more rich and complex than a rosé. Noticeable peach in aroma and taste. Perfect completely on its own. Paired beautifully with a caprese sandwich. — 8 years ago

Those “”Frenchies” know how to do Granach. This wine is the epitome of what I would eat a pulled pork barbecue sandwich with. It is so hard to pair any barbecue sauce ( especially one that is a little sweet) this is a match made in heaven — 7 years ago

What a delight! Herbaceous with hints of manure at first, then giving way to sweet and sour cherries. Fine acidity, drunk too young. Lord it went down quick — 7 years ago

Takes a while to open up - had it in a decanter for 30 min and it needed more than double that. But once it opened, my lord, was it good. Soft, supple approach, with raisin and molasses, and more of the fruit seeping through in a warm, spicy finish. — 7 years ago

Oh my lord. What an extremely balanced, smooth wine. The aroma/nose is perfect, youthful fruits and berries, oak; but the taste is where it's really at. Sublime, smooth, nothing prominent, nothing hidden, all of them sitting in a equal row, like an extremely high end pair of headphones, nearly clinical. High alcohol content, low viscosity, translucent ruby color, presence of gas. What an absolutely incredible wine -- and it's from California!!! — 8 years ago

Woah best of tonight's trio, gracefully aged. Everything I want in vintage Bordeaux. Leather, bell pepper, hints of pepper and spice. Elegant finish. Oh lord this bottle went too fast — 9 years ago
