The flagship from Domaine Saint Préfert, and my first Charles Giraud. Préfert’s Charles Giraud has been a perennial high-scorer with multiple triple digit scores from Robert Parker. The 2015 is one of only four Chateauneufs to receive 99 points from Wine Spectator (none have received 100 points) and one of the other four is the 2010 Charles Giraud. This is epic juice. 60% Grenache, 40% Mourvèdre. Soaring aromatics. Incense, kirsch, lavender, fig, stone, meat, plum, Provençal herbs and exotic spice. Plush and silky, with an all-consuming intensity. Pair with Jeff Buckley. — 7 years ago

Perennial fav. Would love to see where it goes if I had the patience to save one. — 9 years ago
Wild blue and red berry fruit, subtle notes of spice and game, a barely there touch of green comes through as herbal. While the alcohol is high, the wine shows elegantly and very feminine in style. Sauve and silky textured this has very ripe and fine tannin that get lost in the glycerol of this wine's youth. Always a perennial wine of the vintage and a great value (imo). #pegau #grenache #CdP — 9 years ago
Penultimate bottle! With perennial thanks to D Beckwith for the tip. Owing to its age, it shows best from 30-90 minutes on opening. Thereafter it gets sorta wide without further revelations or complexity, but there’s a kind of mineral sweet spot with cool Japanese umami notes and I’m consistently impressed by the showing. — 7 years ago

A perennial love. Still a bit rough around the edges from youth but will be gorgeous. — 9 years ago
A perennial bargain, Domaine de Fontsainte does not disappoint in 2017. Vibrant, pure berry flavors with a pillowy softness on the edge. Buy by the case for your next garden party. — 7 years ago
Bright wine, reminiscent of my perennial favorite Furore. — 8 years ago
A perennial favourite from a solid wine maker. Just what my weekend needed. Always good! — 8 years ago
One of the perennial best values in white Burgundy, "Chaumes des Perrières" means "fringe" or "stubble" of Les Perrières (one of the top 1er crus in Meursault). This formerly AOC Meursault climat was declassified in the 1990's when someone added topsoil, but in good years it's immediately identifiable as a village Meursault. #backroombrownbagwinos — 9 years ago
A perennial 'go to' for the light 'soif' style — 9 years ago

This pint can of Perennial Artisan Saison de Lis is amazing and just what I’ve wanted!!!
This is a Belgian style ale brewed with Chamomile flower and it’s amazing, picture the frothiness of the chamomile tea, and it’s robustness and gentle bitterness in a beer form... it’s very very very good! — 7 years ago
