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

Colgin Cellars

IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend 2004

Seamless, powerful and spectacular. Cedar chip, stewed plum, earth, rust and bone marrow. This had no heat and was silky melt in your mouth goodness. — 10 years ago

Mr. Bender's prose is precise and carnal. It conjures up images, a brutality tempered by harmony, a darkness broken by frequent recourse to the absurd or to irony.

Well played Mr. Sukley. I should've known better than to suggest Mr. Bender's articulation as an exercise in elliptical flowery discourse. Grandiloquent yes, but not sesquipedalian.

Haha you guys @Roman Sukley @Dag Zapatero make me laugh on a very early Sunday morning. I'm rusty on Sunday mornings like the Colgin but you guys are firing on all smooth cylinders.

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!

Marchesi Fumanelli

Terso Bianco Veneto Garganega Blend

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

Presqu'ile Winery

Santa Maria Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2013

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

Elmer T. Lee

Single Barrel Sour Mash Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

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.

Fattoria di Grignano

Poggio Gualtieri Riserva Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese Blend

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

Stone Tree Vineyard Amare Aeterna Petit Verdot 2011

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.

Les Chassagnes Ouillé Côtes du Jura Savagnin 2007

Crazy mix of new world brawn with old world. Mature fruit leads to melt oxidized finish — 10 years ago

Belondrade y Lurton

Rueda Verdejo 2013

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.

Reserva Casablanca Valley Merlot 2009

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

Krupp Brothers

Veraison Stagecoach Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

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

Cavalleri

Collezione Grandi Cru Franciacorta Chardonnay 2007

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
