Phenomenal way to not only watch the ‘Stros lay on the heat to the Yankees, but also to usher in a 9 day Vacation! The Four Seasons always delivers top tier wining & dining. I certainly wouldn’t mind staying here throughout all four seasons... — 8 years ago

Mollydooker Wines

Carnival of Love McLaren Vale Shiraz 2006

Was apprehensive at first as last time I had this (a year ago with Big Wave Dave) it was the cliche Oz Shiraz fruit bomb with high alcohol bordering on over extraction. On the second outing a lot more complex. Still classic cassis fruit and choc/tobacco overtones but not over the top and with some nice acidity still. Less spice than typical. Nice underlying tannin backbone. Lovely mouthfeel and medium body and finish. A little time has done its work nicely. — 10 years ago

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

It's very good. But to be totally honest there is a factor of: "yay I did it- check it off the list" but I've tasted wines for far less $$ and cool-factor that match up better against it. But nobody leaves a drop in the glass in your right mind! The co$t has to be considered when giving a rating. — 11 years ago

My inner Italian was drawn to the Tanic earthy quality of this 2013. Got better with more air. Once again @Bret Barker puts me into another awesome wine. 😎

It may well not be their best vintage to date, but it's impossible not to resist its pure candied peach fruit and gentle spice flavors. Long and rewarding it offers lively acidity and lovely drinkability. Seductive comes to mind. The second bottle of this vintage in less than two months. Thanks Brorsan. — 10 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow. More flavor, much better than their regular cab. Silky, velvet, smooth. Chocolate. Rich fruit. Big, full flavor, lots of flavor. Not old world style for sure, not subtle. It's a big bomb. We would pay up to $75 for this so a bit overpriced to us.

Jacques Selosse

Initial Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

This was like a really nice white Burgundy trapped in a Champagne's body. Or maybe it was the other way around. I don't know which but this blew my fragile oenological eggshell mind. By far the best Champagne I have ever had and by far the most unique. We drank this out of both flutes and red wine glasses to compare and contrast since it is very much atypical of Champagne. Next time I will drink the whole bottle as we drank only half of this one. Worth every penny. — 11 years ago
