Love Over Money

Tenuta Sette Ponti

Oreno Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2010

Again, another bottled opened as part of a long evening... Blown palates and booze soaked brains on the holidays. Drinking beautifully now, but has the structure to continue to evolve over the next few years. Love this wine. — 10 years ago

Has lost its sinewy beach body and gained a few pounds and some sexy curves as it has matured over the years. Loved it then, love it now. — 11 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2005

Alex Lallos
9.3

Always love comtes de champagne blanc de Blancs. Although this 05 is a baby, it is already a great wine. It offers a beautiful salinity, toasted brioche, almonds and mandarin orange. I would hang onto it for at least a few years and enjoy over the next decade or more — 11 years ago

Reckless Love Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah

Re runs of Baywatch. Hot dogs. Slip n Slides. Aint nothing wrong with celebrating and proudly admiring the gratuitous and guilty pleasures in life. This stuff is great! After all.....no reason to be a "prisoner" to over priced gunk. Nor regard something as a "special selection" when its mass produced to the tune of 45000 cases. Less than 15k made of this bad boy! And did I mention.... A glow in the dark label!? Genius! Mustache rides anyone? — 11 years ago

Handcrafted to pair perfectly with wild nights, and ignoring our parents advice. Just pop the cork, and go French kiss a stranger!

Siccagno Nero d'Avola 2011

This was one of those wines that you could drink like punch or ponder like old Bordeaux--each time I took a sip it seemed to change! No mistake, this is a savory wine with barnyard and wild herbs and chalk going on. Even though it was aromatic and open from the start, the flavors developed more complexity over a couple of hours and revealed some nice raspberry fruit. I've always liked Nero d'avola--I'd love to stash some of this away and watch what happens. — 11 years ago

You're welcome, and thanks for appreciating! That's usually my goal when I write these comments :-). I haven't tasted the 2012 but am thinking of grabbing a few (there are a couple of places that have it in SF)

Kopke

Colheita Porto Port Blend 1978

Fabien Lainé
9.4

Another fantastic "little" old tawny, a beautiful port with a small oxidative rancid touch, nice balance, good acidity, it's rich but not over warming - a top value for money and a lovely perfect present to offer to someone born on this year 😄🍷😋 — 11 years ago

Love this producer

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Love what Orin Swift does with his wine making - With over 15% alcohol, this is a big, sexy, fruit bomb boasting abundant amounts of black, blue, and red fruits along with pepper, spice box, earth, and herbs. It tastes like the unmanipulated essence of the fruit of a Mediterranean vineyard. — 12 years ago
