Métisse Jumping Goat Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Wow. This wine delivered against wagyu strip steaks and then on its own

Great balance and deep fruit flavors.

Pommard Pinot Noir 2015

About every quarter or so i get to try a wine which just strikes me like thunder - this is such a wine. This one has a story (I met Pacalet in Encinitas - a total introvert but genius and bought 6 bottles). Earth, autumn leaves, iron, hint cherry, tannins fully resolved. Tamarind? Touch tumeric. A wine at its peak. 🍑 Peach!!! Heaven on earth what a wine! — 8 months ago

CJ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

The CJ isn’t up to my Melka expectation, it is a lower cost product, but it is ok at 10 years old. It did take awhile to open up. — 5 months ago

Taut, steely giving way with warming to white flower, lemon zest. Too young, but really nice and a clear step above the regular Bourgogne. Try again in 2 yrs. — 7 years ago

These both opened up in stages, drank them side by side and at first the opus was better. Then mouton opened up and was a big presence in the room — 5 months ago

Mouton Cadet White Bordeaux Blend 2011

Excellent! It took very little time to breathe which was unexpected for a 2011. We will be buying more of this if we can find it. — a year ago

Philippe Colin

Les Chenevottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Annual Christmas tradition of fried chicken and chass monty- in a non stellar year Philippe Colin really brings it strong with super creamy richness, great luscious fruit and acidity cutting cleanly through. Really great QPR (at the time) - wish I had more. — 7 years ago

Philippe Prié

Brut Tradition Champagne Blend
