Perfect way to toast our little family Christmas. Still tons of red fruit on the palate and some menthol in the nose. And millions of good memories make it even better. — 9 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

(Y) Orig $54; paid $37. First enjoyed with LJ & Lisa the day before I deployed to Afghanistan in July 2010. Good memories good wine. — 9 years ago

Collard-Picard

Cuvée Prestige Brut Champagne Blend

Beautiful yellow gold colour. Fine mousse. Lots of Chardonnay character. Peach, honey on the nose, refined acidity. Round, creamy body. Complex mouth with honeyed peach and pastry and a long aftertaste. Matured on oak 15months then matured on the lees for 3 years. Happy memories of sipping this on their terrace on the Ave de Champagne in the warm summer sun. — 9 years ago

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1989

Amazing depth. Dark fruits, hints of olive and bacon and meat. Just amazing. This drips of pleasure and memories of times gone by. Wonderful lift to the finish immediately invites another sip. If it's the last wine I drink, life has been good! — 8 years ago

Memories of a wonderful trip in Basilicata. — 9 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Damn. Memories of date night oh so long ago. Still a mere baby. I've another bottle in storage, perhaps soon. Muscular, still overly (to me) tannic, acidity still high. But still. Can't believe what this costs now. Yikes. — 9 years ago

Domaine de Saint-Just

Les Perrières Saumur Chenin Blanc 2014

A Chenin from this terroir and tastes like the land that is. Brought back memories of trip there. — 9 years ago

Kumeu River

Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay 2008

Big call, but here's to Kumeu River Maté's Vineyard being one of the best #chardonnay in the world! What a #wine! Bright, tight & focused at 8 years of age, with apple blossoms & cinnamon stick followed up by flinty, gun smoke, sun drenched slate tiles, & the faintest whisper of lemon curd on the nose, carrying me away to memories of my youth. Once upon the palate, it boogies to an electrophoretic humming of liquid energy, bringing life, happiness & joy with it. Sapid, sexy acids whirl about playfully, skipping to an extended denouement, combining its components into one, luxuriously wondrous whole. Love it so! — 9 years ago
