Jarvis Winery

Estate Grown Cave Fermented Finch Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

My first exposure to this Chardonnay and I must say it was pretty special. Viscosity and breadth, lots of texture and mouthfeel. Runs to the precipice of too much and then reels it in perfectly. Baked apple, hazelnut and river rock. — 8 years ago

@Bill Bender I I asked Martin to please bring it. He poured it for me a few months prior. I just love it.

Château Petit Bouquey

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

When you are on the precipice of feigned glory and sheer elegance, the tannin-rich essence of this chocolate sprinkled monogamy blend will soothe your palate in a way that only a Martha's Vineyard breeze can arouse one's soul — 9 years ago

Robert Sinskey Vineyards

POV Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend

As per the reviews, at the precipice of being too rich, but isn't. More blackberry than blueberry, more Bordeaux than Rhone. Wish i knew what the varietals were, besides cab sauvignon. Not hot but you get every bit of its 13.7% — 8 years ago

Olde Hickory Brewery

Saison Gee Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale

2013 in 2016. Olde Hickory Brewery, NC- Saison Gee. Liquified popcorn, oolong tea, coconut, and caramel. 9% alc, that you can't even taste. Just on the precipice of sour. One of the best beers I've had in a long time. — 9 years ago

On the precipice of an A. Classic nebbiolo. Apologies if I don't write reviews for the inexperienced taster. If you want to know more about any experience I have had, I'm happy to answer questions. — 10 years ago

Domaine Gauby

Les Calcinaires Côtes du Roussillon Villages Grenache Blend 2004

Caught this just before the precipice. Cherry pit, wet clay, and damp cinder block. Salty and savory with some secondary cacao nibs. Surprisingly still has some grip, but it won't last long. Distinctive, but notably natural. — 9 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Kudos to the boys for all calling it CdP, GV even nailed it a Pegau blind. Bramble, tar and hint of garrigue. Rich, distinctive nose. Amazingly still coming together after 3 hr decant, the pieces all there: beef blood, earth, peppery spice, pipe tobacco. Big tannins on the precipice of melting down and perfectly melding it all together. Just a few years before this passes superb on its way to profound. — 10 years ago
