I dunno. Pretty quiet overall and specifically flat in the mid palate. Root day? Odd spot? I mean, the tart red fruit I expect is there, there's just no dynamic range. — 8 years ago

Casa Nuestra

Tinto Oakville Old Vines Red Blend 2008

Odd field blend. Unusual flavors. A bit funky to begin, but it developed with air time. A bit of prunishness. — 9 years ago

MacRostie Winery & Vineyards

Wildcat Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay 2009

Frankly: I am surprised at how dynamic and Mâcon this is at 6+ years! It was said and chirpy as only wines with dry extract can be. Delicious with roasted potato leek soup -especially in this odd season between an Indian Summer and that penetrating November rain. Great tension here. — 9 years ago

Jolie-Laide Wines

Fanucchi Wood Road Vineyard Trousseau Gris 2014

Odd, but versatile and, most importantly, GOOD. This could pair with pork or seafood. — 10 years ago

Moutard Pere et Fils

Rosé de Cuvaison Brut Champagne

Pink grapefruit regnier cherry rose petal action reminiscent of a Barolo in an odd way. Both flavors revisit on the palate, with a lemon drop center that turns white strawberry and golden apple. — 10 years ago

First time tasting this rose. It was delightful on a warm afternoon — 9 years ago

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1990

Still ruby but with brickish red rims. At first an odd nose but with air this became flamboyant with mushroom notes and odd dusty fruit. With air more complexity and some sour cherries and soy. Long finish. This wine is controversial but not tonight, it's outstanding. — 9 years ago

Rockburn

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012

2012 - outstanding aromas of curry spice and dark berry fruit, really seductive. Odd then that the palate doesn't quite follow through, there's plenty of fruit but it's a little lean and the strong jasmine tea notes in the tannins are just out of balance. Could be indicative of the 2012 vintage, even the Akarua from that year was not mind blowing. Still a very fine effort, I could happily sit sniffing away at the glass for hours. $47.95 at LCBO — 9 years ago

Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Interesting and quite complex wine, rich and good with cheeses. Bought at odd bins? — 10 years ago

Castello Vicchiomaggio

Ripa della Mandorle 1996

Seemed maybe a bit beyond its day... had a bit of an odd aroma. But still good and interesting! ... day 2: wow, much nicer. Changed my rating. Opening up recommended! — 10 years ago

Kunde Family Estate

Sonoma Valley Zinfandel 2007

Warm and toasty with a menthol finish. Odd but nice. — 11 years ago

Domaine de l'Horizon

L'Esprit de l'Horizon Blanc Macabeo Blend 2014

Chalky and mineral on the nose but with rich, velvety fruit on the palate, some malolactic and a long, pleasantly odd finish that leaves a hint of nectarine rind on the tongue along with lingering notes of...bubblegum? Cotton candy? Not sweet, but there's something unexpected and candy-like in that ballpark... — 9 years ago

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Such an unusual and delicious wine. Definitely a food wine. A bit odd to drink as a stand alone. But absolutely perfect with a roast chicken with orange slices and a rosemary/sage/thyme bundle. — 9 years ago
