Mia's Playground

Pierre Qui Roule

Pinot Noir 2015

Smells like cold metal playground equipment from when I was in primary school. Keeps amazingly well in the fridge with the cap on: after 4 days the bouquet has softened to more of a powdered strawberry smell. Fantastic value for money. — 8 years ago

Teusner

The Playground Lehmo Chardonnay

2011 Teusner 'Play ground' Chardonnay from Eden Valley. Not commercially released but banging, med body, coconut butter flavour. — 9 years ago

Viader

Dare Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2013

Rouge's Blend 2012

If my mouth is a playground....
(carry on with inappropriate puns here) then the 2012 Rogue's Blend is a classroom of Second Graders being released to Lunch Recess. The first impressions are earth; dusty gravelly soil. Next come pencil shavings. Then perfectly preserved in the background is a forrest of wild berries bursting with flavor and juicy acidity. There are swings, slides, and yes...teeter-totters. It's a complete package wrapped in the understated brown craft paper style of Jeff Tanner and tied with cotton butcher twine that begs you to pull the string.

Hacienda Lopez de Haro (Bodega Classica)

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2005

Crisp and acidic. Upon first sip you'll taste preserved cherry. The tannins will leave you reminiscing on childhood memories of tasting playground gravel - decant for an hour. Pair with hearty bolognese. — 10 years ago

Teusner

The Playground Six Million Dollar Shiraz 2011

Steves wine. Bloody good. — 11 years ago

Corison

Corazon Cabernet Sauvignon Rose 2013

After a few hours at the playground with a toddler, I was super psyched to have this waiting for me. Light and crisp and perfect to celebrate Sunday afternoon and remind myself of the benefits of being a grown up — 11 years ago

Lake Breeze Vineyards

Okanagan Valley Pinot Noir 2013

Kirsch-soaked sponge cake with sharp green chives. In a children's playground bordered with wisteria. Or those double-flavor packs of Nerds from the corner store. Excellent. — 8 years ago

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2004

This is a nice 10 yr old wine IF you like American oak. It's not over the top oaky at all, but you can tell it's American (not a favorite of Mia's). SS — 8 years ago

Totally agreed. The Maybach Materium is incredible and they didn't Jack the price for their customers despite the 100 pt. rating.
