Perfect Tipple

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1995

Green Apple at the beginning then some more mature fruit. Not a perfect balance but very nice. — 10 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2012

A 2012 blend consisting of 70% Zinfandel, 21% petite Sarah, 6% Carignane and 3% Mourvèdre. A rich deep ruby red color, 14.4% alcohol, dry, mind tannin that will smooth out after a few years of collecting. Paired with meatballs and it was a perfect compliment. — 11 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

My favorite Sauvignon blanc - very fruity (citrus, tropical) without being overly sweet, which is perfect. Not as herbaceous/mineraly as Loire SBs. The 2014 vintage isn't as good, unfortunately.

Slightly bubbly on opening. Moderate sweetness, rich tropical fruit flavors. Perfect with spicy Asian stir fry. — 11 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

Smelled great looked great tasted great but it was thin on the palate for a Howell mountain cab. Everything else was in perfect harmony. — 11 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

2002 vintage which has been a maligned Rioja vintage. This is the perfect example of producer being the trump card. Excellent as always! — 11 years ago

I actually brought 1981's to a dinner at the Corson Building here in Seattle a few years ago. The Bosconia was the winner by the slightest margin. Actually everybody won who drank them.

Great way to say vintages mean less when you have a great producer!
