Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

This quartet, collectively DRC La Tâche, Richebourg and Romanée-St-Vivant all from the 1999 vintage, along with a 1990 Margaux were opened to celebrate my move from Carmel to Portland. These wines, all once-in-a-lifetime bottles, the stuff of fantasy, debate and obsession are perhaps the jewel in the crown of my year in Monterey. Yesterday afternoon, I arrived in Portland, tired in from the drive, with new story assignments and challenges awaiting me. The individual notes for these wines will be forthcoming. — 11 years ago

Domaine A. et P. de Villaine

La Digoine Côte Chalonnaise Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2011

Really enjoyed this once some of the forward alcohol got out of the way. A bit tart on the finish, but nice balance of acidity and earthiness and a touch of fruit. Good intro to Burgundy for my family. — 11 years ago
