Experimenting with Islay, love the peat, especially as this one mellowed with the sherry cask. Bought it because Trevanian's hero in his book Eiger Sanction drank a lot of it and a skit have club member in Dawson, Yukon did so as well. — 10 years ago
I liked this champagne a lot, mineral/rising bread/very balanced, soft but clean, and then met the family member, and now love it. I think it is totally legitimate to like a wine better when it is made by people you like--the people/story/culture can't be separated from the wine, that's part of the pleasure, part of what makes grape juice into wine. — 10 years ago
2008 vintage; great nose of green bell peppers and other clear cab-family-member aromas; high acid, intense and rich but balanced on the palate, with dark fruits, plum, spices, cedar, and some new oak. Delicious. — 10 years ago
2006, St. Francis Winery, Lagomarsino Vineyard Cuvee Lago, Russian River Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah. Part of my stash from when I was a member. Drank a while ago and kept no tasting notes. A big red that was drinking well. — 10 years ago
Absolutely exquisite zin '07. Now planning on visiting Starlite Vineyards and becoming a member. — 11 years ago
An end member style Sangiovese Chianti with its unctuous richness, but incredibly expressive. The tarry dark cherry just explodes in the mouth, transforming to wild dark cherry aromas. Some would say this is only starting to be ready based on the widely accepted formulas, but I would say this is at peak. All depends on what you like, however. — 11 years ago
Powerful aromatics, flowers, tropical fruits, but like with a muscat or a gewurtz... Just too much. A tad too heavy for casual drinking. If served at right temp. It would have maybe presented itself more honourably. A wine with a story. The trigger for a totally inexpected burst of generosity from a member of Eurostar staff.... Detail in person. — 12 years ago
Nice Rose but more alcoholic and not as fruit forward as Whispering Angel Rose.

First wine I've had from this producer I've been intensely curious about. Extremely gassy, even past Badoit territory, needed some serious Mollydooker shaking and decanting to get into drinkable territory and then a bit more time beyond that to get its composure. It's got pure red-fruited flavors and aromas in the same tone, but instead of fruity the scents are intensely floral, very rosy along with something else underneath like rhubarb or some other member of the root family. Unfortunately I think there is also a nick of volatile acidity. The texture is lean and refined, perhaps not to the extent of some of the Eyrie wines but not so far off. — 10 years ago
Brought home in a suitcase from Tuscany by a family member. Very smooth, delicate, with light fruitiness. — 10 years ago
Received the 2011 Reserve Chardonnay from Riverbench in a member shipment a while back and drank it about a week ago. Riverbench, founded in 1973, has long held a very favorable reputation for producing high quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay out of the Santa Maria Valley. Their winemaker, Clarissa Nagy, has all the tools to make great wine and this is a great example. ~32$ | #riverbench #chardonnay #santamariavalley
On the eyes: starbright, yellow-gold with light stain and med tears. No gas/floc.
On the nose: very buttery with an oaky nuttiness rounded by melon, guava, and pear.
On the tongue: slightly effervescent with med acid, med tannin, and med+ alcohol, floral notes yielding to lemon, melon, and pear on a nice creamy mouthfeel. There's a bit of spice and unmistakable buttery oakiness on the much appreciated long finish. — 10 years ago

Tonight's wine was a Christmas gift from a family member. This 2013 Big Head Chenin Blanc comes from the Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario region of Canada.
On the nose there is pear, honeydew melon, apricot, apple blossom, ginger, honey, saffron and minerality.
On the palate I am getting an overabundance of ripe fruit, apricot, mandarin orange, mango, pineapple, baked apple, lemon curd and wet rock minerality.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and there is a medium sweetness not overly sweet that lends to a well balanced, well rounded Chenin Blanc.

I wasn't going to rate this wine at first, but after downing a six pack after a couple weeks I figured something is working here. It's definitely not your bread and butter pinot, and if you're a classic pinotvitorian, this wine probably isn't for you. But I'm just digging these crazy notes of root beer, caramel, oak, bright cherry, with almonds lurking in the background. Great body to this wine, well balanced with just a hint of pepper on a lingering finish. It's rich, voluptuous, and satisfying. As a club member I'm paying $28 a bottle and that feels like a deal. Good chance I'll be doubling down again soon. — 10 years ago
