A compelling blend of noble and native grapes...this is absolutely delicious. At $24 I call value. The gewürztraminer shows itself without taking over, white perfume and peony...flowers dance between melons and melt off the palate. — 7 years ago

Yes not a bad wine for lunch - actually two bottles. Soft decadent Carmel and melt away milk chocolate. Perfectly balanced and beautiful. Utopia maybe? Pretty darn close to perfection. All we can say is "mmmmm". More please! So I am officially done for the day- hard to go anywhere after this gem! Parker 100 — 8 years ago

Elmer T Lee, great whiskey for a WWII vet, that became one of America's greatest distiller.
Vanilla, and old leather. Perfect balance of honey with vanilla slightly spiciness, with a long, warm finish to relax and melt the day away. — 9 years ago

levity in stable hands, quiet surf and stage whispers, a pillow warm and worn, you used to tell me - well, i've learned, i shake the frost-bitten sheets above us, the flakes just fall and melt like wounded stars, like your eyes, like the moon, like sleep — 9 years ago

Cranberry, currant, blackberry and pepper cooked into venison shoulder. Hen-of-the-woods cooked into its oaken companion! Plenty of oak bark and licorice here. Smoky blackberry and rich earth round out the variegated smells. This is almost Cornas!
Eggshell, cypress wood, grainy tannins and boysenberry to the front lines armed with thorny green weapons which melt into mouth-coating black poppyseed. There is coffee rye and black currant encased in walnut that becomes ensconced, nailed to your tongue with leaden resolve. — 9 years ago

100% Chardonnay, 10% fermented in large Slavonian oak barrels. The star of the show tonight. Always difficult to compare anything against a fleet of Champagnes but honestly this is top class, high ranked up in the Sparkling hierarchy. Precision, detail, concentrated but also restrained at the same time. Warm brioche, almonds melt deliciously with notes of preserved/candied fruits. Liquid Panettone, this is a real stunner! — 10 years ago

2012 grosjean Pinot noir. Like a terse, noble, old wood forest on the palate. Needs years to melt into silky awesomeness. — 11 years ago

Bright, tart notes of lemon curd with that beautiful Burgundy-like toasted quality mid palate. This, paired with Midnight in Paris, is lessening my brain-melt after spending three hours studying advanced French grammar. — 8 years ago

2008. Deep raspberry colour, no bricking. Very rougeard nose a bit stemmy. Powerful and intense on the palate, very young still, can wait a while. Fine chalky tannins which melt with a couple hours of air. Long finish. This wine needs more time before blossoming but it is beautiful already. Wait. — 8 years ago

Each week, my 2.5yr old twins have "homework" which requires picking household items that start with a given letter. This week is "I" (there's no "I" in team, or kicking off many household items that would fit in a paper bag and don't melt!). Anywho, It Inspired me to pop this reasonably priced late harvest (Icewine), which Is sweet, refreshing, and even elegant for a very reasonable price. I also included a DVD of Ice Castles - who doesn't love that movie?!?! That and Splendor in the Grass - they get me every. single. time. — 9 years ago

Love the cheap wines that can do this! So fresh and crisp in their youth but give them a few years and all the elements just melt together. fruit, acid and texture become a comfy well rounded, united experience.
Brilliant! — 10 years ago

2005. Shows so much grace with age. Acidity and high notes at the start melt into silky textural layers. Slightly oxidative which added character. — 10 years ago

Such a soft, sensual sauvignon blanc, that really opens up as it warms. Love the jalapeño stone fruit nose, mineral palate w that sauvignon blanc acidity but a touch of neutral oak and some definite lees influence that make the finish seem to melt in your mouth. — 11 years ago

I remember drinking this one more than 10 years ago and loving it. I kept it’s sibling sitting around since then. At first, I thought I waited too long to drink it. Kind of had that old sour cherry taste. With 30 minutes, those off flavors started to melt away revealing a lovely nuanced cdp with lots of wonderful classic Rhône flavors. — 8 years ago

Forget Chardonnay, this G has a near perfect structure. Minerals! Light acid, fruit but not sweet. Texture and viscosity enough to "melt" in your mouth almost buttery. Floral. — 8 years ago

This was one of last wines made by my old friend Joshua Krupp. He was such a talented guy with a great future in wine/life that his loss will forever sadden me. Mountain fruit with great intensity And the heavy tannins have started to melt bringing a silkier mouth feel with a sweet dark fruitcake profile. Lots going on here and only wish I drank it with Josh! Saving the rest for posterity. — 9 years ago

Lots of glycerine, lemon oil, white peach and vanillin. Just a tad too oaky IMHO, but I loved the freshness and purity of the fruit and its broad, viscous mouthfeel. Great wine, almost excellent.
Even better on day two! Oak starting to melt into the wine. — 10 years ago

This Merlot gives the sense of melt-in-your-mouth goodness, like a smooth chocolate or the finest of cheeses, and it most likely would go swimmingly with those very items! — 11 years ago
