Holy moly. Wow. 47 years young. Talk about standing the test of time. So much to this wine - tertiary must, some dark fruit, some bright fruit, some serious herbs. Fantastic. — 9 years ago

So talk about having low expectations. My waiter at La Fenice in Toronto "moved" me from a $120 bottle to this $50 bottle of wine and WOW it was sensational. He said that back in the day this was the wine of choice at fine restaurants and was he ever right. This was AN INCREDIBLE selection — 10 years ago

This is wine to pour for those last remaining Francophile snobs who think they will never enjoy a bottle from --GASP --outside of France or surrounding vineyards. I know, there are thankfully not so many of these people left, but the point is, this tastes like a classic, pre-oakification, totally quaffable " let's have this with some rich, wintery food" sort of beverage. If you don't like this, we will have to find something else to talk about.

Oh, I love this wine so much, I call it Denzel. Every single time I talk a client into having this at their event or table -- they love it. It is perfect for compromising different palates when only one wine can be had... Merlot lovers, Pinot snobs, Cabernet aficionados ... They all can get along with this blend. It is wonderful to drink on it's own, but it shines wonderfully with food. Duh, I love this stuff. — 12 years ago

This wine has an apple and lime interplay, with matchstick, pencil, lemon oil and hazelnut scents forever. Gas lamp, briny yellow olive, lemon pith, lemon seed, white clay, clean smoke. Such an easy, deft and focused wine. Puts some pep in your step. #Bourgogne #bourgogneblanc #frenchwine #whiteburgundy #whitewine #burglove — 9 years ago

I could have never blind tasted this and come close to it being a cab franc...cab sav, sure and about 20 other things too. It's much better than I would have ever guessed. Try it, it's a serious wine. Like it reads Vonnegut and wants to talk about the subtext kinda serious. — 9 years ago

Alright guys. Not expensive. No known name. This proves to me what you spend is not whether a wine is good. Delicious. Rich dark berries. Some vanilla. Buy it. Enjoy. The ratings are based on snob appeal. Take a blind taste test. Then we'll talk. Shalom. — 10 years ago

2010, discovered sleeping in my cellar. Can we talk about how #bcwine Pinot Gris should be aged? Because damn. Allows the minerality to shine through. We've been skimming through a novel, people. Slow down with this one. — 11 years ago

Talk about value. Very juicy strawberry and cherries. Pleasing amount of ripeness with just enough tannins to keep it approachble but satisfying. — 11 years ago

Amazing Brew, Excellent example of a truly great west coast IPA, this is the reason beer lovers from other countries are seeking out these fine brews, Germany was always the true brew masters, but even Germans are giving high praises to brew like this one, talk to people in the UK and they are blown away my this brew and others from Firestone and Stone, Balast Point, really great to see this happening here in the Great USA, Proud to call this brew as OURS! — 12 years ago

Rich and mature. Hmmm. Makes me second guess the sponti talk on Mosel rieslings - I reckon it's probably to do with SO2. Quite a bit younger than the german rieslings in our little study the other day, but so much more advanced. Or maybe it's the sugar that helps with longevity in the german stuff.

Waxy, honeyed, floral, petrol notes, with the green apple and pear fruit playing second fiddle. Hint of aldehydes. Mineral and weighty. It was delicious! — 9 years ago

A really well balanced and elegant Chard. I loved it, Kylah is not sure and wants to revisit it. Talk about a classic, perfect Cali Chard. This has everything. It is not a big bully throwing sawdust and vanilla sticks at your head. It's soft, sophisticated, and delish. — 10 years ago

Mother's Day was perfect. And realistic. It meant doing dishes, laundry, and making four beds before 8am. But it also meant having an impromptu dance party with my Mom and my twins in her bathroom before 9am. It was a day devoid of cancer talk, acknowledging the obvious with extra long hugs, but choosing to embrace the moment and be hopeful there will be many more Mothers' Days with my Mom. This Vin Perdu was an excellent ending. Earthy and maybe even smoky vs what I have been drinking (because it's on fiiiyyaaa🔥) Heidi Barrett - need I say more - you know how I feel about her. And PS, if you've ever had it, you would know it's quite possibly the best label ever (a hologram) — 10 years ago
