'Mon Plaisir' Chardonnay

Weeknight treat. Medium body, creme brulee on nose and some custardy finish but great acid. Just so many great things to love in this chardonnay. I still prefer Ma Belle Fille — 7 months ago

Winston Hill Napa Valley Red Blend 2008

Solid bottle. Juicy dark fruit that didn’t cross the line. Meaning not over extracted and not old school either. — 8 months ago

Lust Lodi Zinfandel 2016

Beautiful Zin all around. I find it a bit earthy but absolutely stunning. Wow, when I think “Zin” this is the taste, and I got it on sale for only $35! It’s pairing perfectly with my spicy Chinese food dinner. I’m imagining about 10 other dishes this will pair wonderfully with as well. — 5 years ago

Easy drinking, pretty sweet though the finish lives up to semi-dry. Pear, peach, apple. — 6 years ago

We always drink a PM on release day to celebrate. Typical strong effort with this Pinot, certainly a relief from the summer. — 9 years ago

Point Rouge Chardonnay 2007

2007 Peter Michael Point Rouge Chardonnay. HB w MnD and J&D B. We loved this wine wine so much at the Heart concert and we loved it tonight. Floral, along with notes of buttery brioche and oak. However, somewhat surprisingly, as we drank this in comp to the 2013 Ridge Monte Bello Chardonnay, it did not win out. Still such a great wine that we really, really enjoyed. — 10 years ago

Michael Mara Vineyard Chardonnay

9.0

Can’t rate. Maybe the wine is in a weird spot or my palate was affected by the 4 sessions of snow shoveling, but if I had a blindfold on I would have thought this was a red. Somewhat restrained on the palate with lots of steel elements and some earth. Color was great, as was the cork, so must be me. Usually one of my favorites! — 7 months ago

Volcanic organic wine - aromas of green coffee beans, small red fruits, a little funk. Lots of acidity and freshness. — 6 years ago

Finger Lakes Rkatsiteli 2017

Extremely complex and full of acidity. Aromatics of lemon, Granny Smith apple, basil, wet stones and rubber. The pallet features flavors of lemon pith, peach, green apple and slate. Straw colored and lively. Hint of fruity sweetness on the finish. Nice FLX expression of this outstanding Eastern European grape! — 7 years ago

Earthquake Lodi Petite Sirah 2013

Definitely needs to open up. Was sweet on the first sip. Significant fruit tones at the outset and got dry as it opened. I would give it a good half hour and drink and enjoy. Solid choice. — 10 years ago

Freakshow Lodi Red Blend 2020

The 2020 vintage of Michael David Freak Show is a blend for everyday drinking. A blend of Syrah (appx 54%), Petite Sirah (appx 42%) and Souzao (appx 4%), it is a balanced, fruit-forward red wine with notes of dark berries and plum. Although it does not provide the complexity and tannic structure of a Napa or Sonoma Cabernet, neither does it come with the same price tag.

I recommend this wine, but just find the circus-themed bottle label a little freaky.

Munjebel Terre Siciliane Bianco Carricante Blend 2021

Cult winery from Sicily. But the guy is Belgian. Orange wine I think - So flavorful, apples, stone-fruit, honey and most of all a ton of JASMINE. I love it. But not everyone’s cup of tea. — 2 years ago

'Ma Belle-Fille' Chardonnay

Double Blind, hit this as 09/10 Peter Michael Belle Cote. These chards gave a distinctive acidic grapefruit twist to them that's very noticeable. Great nose of buttered popcorn after it opened up. Very nice. — 9 years ago

Reserve Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Beautiful and silky with chocolate and blueberry torte notes. Tea and earth on the back palette. The tannins are still big but harmonious and the finish is long while taking on floral and raspberry flavors. Fantastic. — 10 years ago
