Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Steak night at home with Marcia. Bought from a source. Love email lists. Delightful. Cork had been breached but wine was perfect. 25 years old. Real treat. Have one more. I buy these because my mother had three 1982 on Thanksgiving Day when child bride and I were very very young. This one reminded us of those days!! — 10 years ago

Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna 2010

Snouts digging around the acorn trees. Prosciutto garlands lapping the tongue. Vanilla pipe smoke trailing the highways as we walk on through the valley at dusk. Lightning bugs and crickets cast an open sea under the full moon. — 10 years ago

Bodega Norton

Reserva Mendoza Malbec 2010

EM D

An exquisite Malbec with a deep burgundy color. The taste develops as if a multi-course meal, slowly revealing the next flavor layer across the tongue with a smooth, lingering finish. Almost like making love in slow motion finishing with a furious denouement. — 11 years ago

Allegrini

Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend 2010

A wonderful old and aged flavor. Smooth and low acidity. Medium life on the nose and tongue. — 12 years ago

Charles Smith

Kungfu Girl Washington State Riesling 2013

I get green papaya or green pineapple on the nose. Lychee too. Dryer on the tongue than on the nose, I was surprised - pleasantly! Very easy to drink. I will buy this again. It'll stand alone or be good w/ food. Most white drinkers in a crowd would like this. — 10 years ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Needs to air after first opening bottle but then reveals plush dark fruits, nice body and acid, has Burgundian overtones to me but at same time taste like modern Sonoma Pinot. — 10 years ago

Rombauer Vineyards

Carneros Chardonnay 2011

Really nice Chardonnay! Fantastic complexity - great fruit, nice nose, excellent oak. Rich and buttery on the tongue but cool and citric too. Fabulous. — 12 years ago
