Le Pich

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Le Pich is the Wappo Indian term for "golden eagle," and this wild birds wingspan is massive. It will come in fast and hard and treat you like a helpless mouse in the field and swoop you up into the sky in its grape soaked talons. But then, what a ride once it opens up! "Nice eagle", you say..."take me to your nest and do what you do." It's like getting punched in the face followed by a tantric massage. This is the stuff of awesomeness. — 8 years ago

I’d like to know which night was the drunker of the two? You obviously bath in this grape juice, which I respect and, am somewhat jealous that you have kept it from me for so long, but I digress...what’s with the wild swing in rating!? WHICH IS IT MAN!? I must know! Please. I must know.

One Sky Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay 2014

Part of an Ambassador event we hosted with Three Sticks here in Texas. This bottle was opened for two hours before serving. Tremendous amount of flavors on the nose-pear, fig and apricot. First sip those same flavors carry through with a touch of oak and earth. Lovely wine! — 9 years ago

Domaine R. DuBois & Fils

Nuits Saint Georges Pinot Noir 2012

The perfect perfume from a hybrid of flower and fungi. A strawberry cyborg with meaty core. Stones comprised of smoky dust. These embody the dichotomies of good Pinot. In it come together the disparate physics of the ethereal. There is citrus in the red plum and guava. Copper in the pine bark. Icebergs in the sweltering river. The body is nuanced, quick as live blood, with mineral weight. Cranberry with mint that turns to thyme, to orange, to feldspar. Star anise that becomes a tart strawberry and raspberry interplay. This is a beauty playing the perfect hostess to terroir and desire. A fine bedside wine. The fruits resonate with seemingly endless vibrations between tart and citric, ripe and decomposing. Chalky earth, nitric sky and briny ocean. — 10 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

When you have to travel on a Sunday, and that Sunday happens to be Mother's Day, you're not exactly psyched. This little oasis in the Delta Sky Club afforded me the opportunity to smile. Not a bad pour, regardless of the price. Typical Lynch-Bages cigar tobacco and leather with some luscious and velvety black fruit. Finished a little flat, most likely due to being open for a while in the fancy automated pour gizmo. But still smiling! — 8 years ago

Domaine Vacheron

Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir 2013

I drank you too quickly, my love. You, the embodiment of all that I desire: a soft mist on a grey day, a light wind at an hour in the morning when most of the living cease, an empty road, an open question, a filling in an unknown hole that's been gaping wider by the day. I could try to describe you, you the impermeable, but words can't meet your nose in the night and Eskimo kiss ideas into the abyss of night sky. Just know, we will meet again; it will be as good as it as was. I won't let you be the one that gets away.

As I pull the sheets over you I wonder if I will ever know what love is again.

Gianfranco Bovio

Vigna Arborina Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

At last the sun shines in a cloudless sky and drinking today is reserved with Nicolas. At Bottega and we talk on the patio there and choose a Flowers Pinot Noir brought and opened by Massimo the sommelier . We drink that quickly and then choose a Bovio Barolo from La Morra in 2007. The Bovio tastes like how it feels to listen to Nicolas describe his most recent work in Emola Amity. We drink this slowly. It has been made sturdy. It has a taste of work done. The flavor of August to November. Working with Oregon Pinot for four solid months straight through, Nicolas explains, morning to morning, healthy doing all the work , every big and little thing, widely working all the grapes along to a 2015 wine. It tastes like that but only in 2007 in La Morra. Strengthened.
To me it tastes like talking about my lovely wife. And to say I wish I had the money to buy some good land to build her a home closer to the sea. It tastes like what it would do to me to see her there in that hand built home, very healthy and very alive and perfectly situated, at ease, contented in her place, made.
Fulfilled with the taste of maturity and youth together, us together. A wine bent off the vine by two people only.

The Bovio was in a perfect mood, like a friend listening and sharing his life with me. Life in the sun on the patio. The only two there is except for Massimo. These things can taste like that.

Honey Wine Dry Mead

I've never had mead before, as I usually don't care for white wines unless I'm cooking with them. But I came across this gem, and I found myself unable to put it down. It provides an opulent honey flavor that isn't uncomfortably sweet. It accents most flavorful stir-fries, such as Chinese or Thai, and can even be enjoyed without being accompanied by any foods at all. I intend to have a case of this in stock at all times, and I recommend this to any red or white wine lover. — 12 years ago
