Lunch Money
Belle Glos
Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013
Very nice bottle of Pinot for the money. This is an excellent value. Very drinkable. — 11 years ago
Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Blend 1988
Worth the money, not amazing but very good with good floral notes and alcoholic nose — 14 years ago
R. López de Heredia
Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002
Perfectly balanced, well integrated, and pairs best with good conversation. Even for an Italian, this Tempranillo gives any Nebbiolo a run for its money. — 11 years ago
Domaine Jamet
Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2005
Finally getting caught up on stuff I had in France. This needed more time open than we could give it during lunch, but went down quickly nonetheless. Deep and meaty and bloody with a touch of floral lift. Fully resolved tannins and incredible length. — 11 years ago
Domaine Dujac
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1999
When you need to notch your post Burgundy lunch to another level. Powerful and lithe. Pretty, — 11 years ago
Allegrini
Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend 2010
Strong, round fruit with good acidity for our steak Christmas lunch — 11 years ago
Screaming Eagle
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Magnum 2008 Screaming Eagle Cab. Wine #4 for K's birthday dinner at Press. Really interesting to drink this after having the Harlan vertical at lunch and side-by-side with the Heitz and Martini. This 2008 much more ready to drink than Harlan. We decanted for an hour before drinking, but it was still really muscular and chewy. Was really delicious to drink while having our steak. Awesome treat. — 12 years ago
Bill Bender
From mag. A little tight and lacked some acidity but a solid lunch wine ;-)
There was also a mag of '86 Domaine Tollot corton Charlemagne there that showed better. It was dark and cloudy but showed some nice age and character with a baked apple. 91. — 11 years ago
