Delicious Rose prosecco. Had it at MCC expo — 8 years ago
1990 Pichon-Longueville Baron bordeaux. Dinner at Bst w McC. Had this after the '96 Leroy RSV burgundy. We got lots of earthy, woodsy notes, along with leather, spice, and dark red fruit. Drank so beautifully. Outstanding. — 8 years ago
1996 Case Basse Di Gianfranco Soldera Brunello. At Charcoal w McC. So different to drink this after the Dujac Chambolle Musigny. This was also tight at first, despite more than an hour of decanting. Vegetal, mineral, dirt- very earthy notes all around. Great w steak. — 9 years ago
1990 Bartolo Mascarello Barolo Nebbiolo. Dinner at Toscana w McC. Classic Barolo as K said. Super sweet and raisiny with soil at the same time, high tannins. Great! — 9 years ago
Great PX. Correct sweetness, rich flavors - Um belo PX, com doçura agradável e sabores de torra deliciosos. — 10 years ago
2009 Pierre Yves Colin Morey Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru. Second white wine of the night at N Mal w K, R&M S, McC, Judy. Buttery and rounded. Delicious. — 10 years ago
1997 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w McC and K at Il P. Didn’t decant. It was stunning. K has never had it before. Such a treat. — 7 years ago
Delicious, a bit like Groth, tried at MCC wine expo — 8 years ago
1996 Domaine Leroy Romanee St. Vivant burgundy. Dinner at Bst w McC. Awesome! None of us had tried this wine before- we really loved it. It was spicy and fruity and floral. A lot going on and all melding together nicely- so no singularly overt characteristic. — 8 years ago
OK so we got these three because of Brian McC of Somm ...still a God amongst us... But this one I sat on for a year and carried all over The US and I always learn something new about wine when I drink Maxime's wine — 9 years ago
2007 Kosta Browne Amber Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir. Drank at first lunch in Cabo with McC, Ash, and K. Fruit forward, jammy, balanced. Yum! — 9 years ago
1997 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Burgundy. Second red wine of the night at Nobu Malibu w K, R&M, McC, Judy. Cinnamon on the nose. Super interesting. Delicious. — 10 years ago

1999 DRC Richebourg burgundy. Dinner w McC and K at Il P. Stunning. K had never had this wine before. Stood it up for 2 days before drinking. Decanted for 30-45 min before serving. “Masculine” was the description we decided on. Perfectly balanced. — 7 years ago
2009 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chevalier Montrachet. Holiday dinner w McC and M at Il P. We think it has prem-ox issue. Got better as it sat in the glass, but not the best version of this wine we've had. — 8 years ago
1995 Giacomo Monfortino Nebbiolo Barolo. At dinner w McC. This wine was much more red fruit and bigger than the 1990 Barolo Mascarello. We all thought this wine was young and could use more time. Overall delicious though — 9 years ago
