Wow- nice young wine!! We had "spiced-rubbed" chicken thighs, grilled, and served atop a variety of vegi's. The piment d'espellette, cumin & ground fennel seed was perfectly reflected in this young wine! Mmm! Hope BK thought it as perfect a match as I did! Happy 4th to those who celebrate! xo KM — 9 years ago

BO'S tasting - 60C/40PN - dried rose petals with turkish delight - lovely match with roast duck breast — 10 years ago
Softer than expected, lemon/lime and yellow apple are subdued by a strong white mushroom and cheese rind funkiness. Complex and the perfect match for some triple cream. — 10 years ago
A great Rioja! Hey beautiful balance of body acidity tannins. Bright cherry notes with leather undertones. Match very well with a grilled steak. — 7 years ago
Rock solid Chablis, crisp. Minerality and orange zest. Perfect match for lemon-seared scallops served cold. Nice find @Chris Young! — 8 years ago
We all need a little Lunatique in our lives. Forgot about those ⚛ synthetic purple corks on some of the older B&H though - the Rabbit was no match and had to pull out the heavy artillery to open. Slightly muted nose and a bit thin to start, but fleshed out into a decent Napa Syrah with air. — 9 years ago
A glorious example of mature Sauternes- deep honeyed bouquet with pollen notes - these come through on the palate too, ply that classic burnt match undertow on a long finish. Like drinking nectar. — 9 years ago
What is it about these French reds? You can pick them out from a global mix: clear and a little dry. I'm sure if I knew the regions better, I could match them - they each seem to have a signature. — 10 years ago

Loads of plum, mild spice, graphite....tannins are starting to integrate really well....a little grippy still but starting to even out to a nice dustiness. Drinks well now and should continue to get better. Great buy on sale at Whole Foods for under $40! — 10 years ago
Wow. Amazing Aligoté, not to be wasted on a Kir. Could pose as good chardonnay as well. And perfect match for the ceviche. — 12 years ago
Had this at Glen & Josh's wedding. Absolutely stunning. Struck match on the nose, not overly oaky and woody, light and delicious. (I only know the struck match note because I was told about it, but it sounds good :P) — 8 years ago
Excellent, mature but drinking perfectly, perfect match with spicy pork and chorizo stew. — 8 years ago
Very nice right bank style. Big fruit in the nose and tannins to match but surprising amount of acid and balance. Drink now or hold a few more years. — 9 years ago
They can't seem to find a match for this wine????

Honeyed and unctuous. Cremebrulee with a nose to match (burnt sugar). Not the top tier D'Yquem, but quite satisfying — 10 years ago
