Toro Crianza 2010

Needs time to breath according to the rep. Not much of a nose. Very flavorful and bold. Definitely full bodied and bold mouth feel. Strong tannins. Couldn't taste anything specific, but I did like it! — 9 years ago

Bodegas Tradición

20 Años Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Pedro Ximénez

Insane. Pulled from behind the counter by the bodega rep at an industry tasting (I think what I tried was actually a 40 year, not for sale commercially). Texture and acidity of reduced balsamic, salt and umami of aged soy sauce. Flavor explosion that continued to develop in the mouth for what seemed like half an hour. — 10 years ago

Gérard Raphet

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2007

This wine is amazing and a real find for its $$$
This was highly recommended from my JJ Buckley rep. Lots of red fruits , mineral and spice with good structure and balance, reaching its peak drinking window and will drink well for many years. This has everything you look for in Burgundy for half of the price($76) Highly recommended!

Gramona

Argent Grand Reserva Brut Cava Chardonnay 2007

Tasted at 3 St James's with Gramona rep. Cava at its best for this 100% Chardonnay cuvee. 6g/L. Fine mousse. Austere at first sight but great freshness comes through with aeration. Rich, yeasty and wonderfully opulent. Dense. Great finish and persistency with gentle bitterness. Ones for food. — 11 years ago

Grosset

Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2006

Lean and mineral with good acidity, but a disappearing finish. Honestly a bit disappointing, given the rep. — 11 years ago

Anniversary Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

WOTN at community wine and beer (what's that?) fest. Parked ourselves and our tickets in front of the rep and "re-tasted" several times. Smooth tannins with even notes of red current raspberry. Made the night enjoyable! — 9 years ago

20 Manzanas Frost Cider

Unlike ice cider or frost cider made in the United States and Canada, apples are frozen using refrigeration technology meaning the frost only goes one way--in. In nature, apples will freeze, thaw, freeze partially and unfreeze partially, moving sugars throughout the apples. You'll notice a difference in style here because the producer oxidizes the cider as a way to compensate for the artificial freezing process, but it's still a delightful dessert choice on a list. A rep told me to pour it over vanilla ice cream, but I'd rather just drink it straight. Notes of oak, caramel and baked fruit, it reminds me of a dreamy blend of sherry and Madeira. — 10 years ago

"Not fair to drink this after the Nebbiolo" says Jenn, my VI rep. Super tight on the nose. Nothing at all. Fruit on the nose. Almost candy-ish. Not my thing. Not much to this wine. 1 sided. $9 / 83pts — 12 years ago

Bernard Machado

La Cantera Pinot Noir 2012

Great to compare with Millot. While my palate preference is in the old world, this wine delivers, and Dani prefers Machado over Millot. Supple ripe fruit from Chehalem mntns with sweet tea, wet leaves and moss underscoring the cherry berry lushness. Hints of vanilla and campfire. (About the vintage on the label: This bottle was brought to us by the supplier rep, who bottled the wine before the 2012 labels were ready.) — 9 years ago

Chablis Chardonnay

This is really terrific. One of the best Chablis I've ever tasted. This bottling is from Sevrin's personal vineyards, not the Domaine. While at a small estate Burgundy tasting I expressed my dismay at the rep not having a Chablis. She just happened to have a bottle is this in her purse and let me try it. While I don't remember specifics from such a small taste, there was a very distinctive mineral and flint quality that was perfectly balanced with a lush roundness. Both wonderfully traditional AND delightfully distinctive. Can't wait to buy a case!! — 12 years ago
