Great wine shared with my family for Lunar New Year's Eve. This wine showed longevity and the flavor was pure clover honey. The acid was fresh and lively. Drink now or hold for another 5 years. — 8 years ago

Lunar New year celebration at PA Margaret Kuo with 20 per CB tradition. Pino's 3 Amarone. Well balanced with fruits and spice and earth and am angular and lively texture vs other two. I'd say need more time. Is probably drinking the best. Also the oldest. — 5 years ago

Movia

Modri Pinot Noir

Had several wines from this producer recently and have been amazing impressed. Doing a lot of cool stuff with biodynamic farming techniques, and I've heard even harvests around the lunar calendar? Regardless, it's working and thus wasn't any exception. If you doubt you can grow great Pinot in Slovenia give this a try. Delicate floral notes with some dark playful raspberry and cherry flavors with a fun funkiness to it. Great acidity balance, and a lingering finish. — 6 years ago

It's western Slovenia near the Italian border. I believe it is in the foothills of some mountains so they have a fairly mild climate with warm days and chilly nights!

2013 vintage, just brought back with us after seeing our friends at Maisonry in Yountville. Made the trek with us to Hanoi, lunar New Year's Eve in Vietnam. Still very young but Sunny loves the Tor Cabernet. Strong nose of black cherry, loved it. — 8 years ago

A little bit of volatility that quickly blew off, leaving a full-fruited, lightly off-dry Chenin that was gorgeous. Stellar (lunar?) indeed — 9 years ago

The Swiss drink their own wine. Its fantastic and they don’t share it with the world. One side of the lake is Switzerland the other side is France. What’s the difference?

Much more interesting version of Sauvignon Blanc and less expensive version of white burgundy. Held up well with winter veggies, scallops and pig liver.

Château Léoville Poyferré

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Today is Chinese lunar new year in LA! Gotta pop a nice one. Dark inky purple color, not showing a bit of aging at all. Fine leather, mushrooms, forest floor, smoked bacon, graphite, herb, not much fruit character on the nose but mostly are black fruits, also mixed with some sweet cinnamon. Tannins are not fading at all, very young, very dry on the palate, chewy. Some tobacco leaves and dark chocolate as well. 30+ seconds finish. Still has decade to go. Love it! 13.5% alc. 2004 vintage — 7 years ago
