Cascinetta Vietti Moscato d'Asti 2016

Hands down, my favorite value play for Moscato d'asti, a perfect match of sugar and minerals, off-dry and well balanced. $15 makes this a star any day. — 8 years ago

Just fine here. Even my driveway is dry now, snow everywhere, about 6-8" of wet/heavy is about all we got, in the Catskills about an hour West, they saw 38".

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

1 hour plus decant. Dark red color. Nose contains graphite, black cherry, and some medicinal elements. Wine has more oak than expected but nice cherry fruit. Awesome texture and great depth. Medium plus finish. Not as good as the ‘12 I recently had, but still one of my favorite producers! — 5 years ago

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2014

Ok this is my experiment!! My first experience with Domaine Tempier was three years ago; this wine, this vintage. Presenting with an extremely plush salinity in the mouth the wine was lacking just a bit in smell and quite a bit more in pallet.
I did some research..discovering that Bandol Rosé has a pretty unique aging potential. It took a bit but I was able to acquire another 2014...and I waited...(suggested 5-6 yrs.) So I split the difference ...almost!
This wine is so much better on the nose and palate...Rainier Cherries..Watermelon..Kiwi fruit..Jolly Rancher strawberries..tangerine and wet gravel!
Every vintage is different....the 2015 was great from the start and remains my favorite!!

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2016

This is just stunning. Gorgeous wine with amazing nose of cherries, flowers, herbs. Mouthfeel is fresh cherries, stone, some funk, and a touch herbs/game. Gorgeous almost Pinot like at times. One of my favorite Beaujolais ever. — 8 years ago

Love the 82 but don’t know the 83. After seeing your numerous positive notes on this I really need to find some. Any suggestions on where to source it?

The last 2 cases that I purchased have been owc’s bought at auction & were in perfect condition. I have found single btls at various retailers, Benchmark, HDH, K&L where conditions can vary. The 82 is legendary & priced accordingly but the 83 if found can be had at 1/4th the price. Cheers!
