Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

Cherry and tar with strong tannins and minerality. It's a little early to open this one yet, but had this with a veal chop that really helped the wine show the potential and promise. — 9 years ago

A favourite producer for me after visiting the winery last year. Their individual vineyard Barbarescos like Rabaja are excellent.

Domaine Drouhin

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2012

Tonight I am going with another Pinot Noir. I feel I am getting into a Pinot rut so this I promise will be it for a little while, but what can I say, I love me some Pinot. Well the nose comes on with good notes of black cherry, cranberry, allspice, clove, earthiness and floral notes of lilac. On the palate the black cherry comes through with notes of pomegranate, good tannins with green vegital notes, oak which all blends together very well in a full mouth feel. — 11 years ago

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod

Les Bons Bâtons Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Today's lesson is on patience. Over a 24 hour period this showed quite a bit of promise. That's all it showed th0...it was worth opening and checking out and ''twas quite gorgeous where it was but this will reward sitting around for a while. Real chambolle in this bottle, don't be fooled. — 8 years ago

This was nice but nowhere near as good as the price. Had a 50 dollar cab blend next to this and there wasn't much difference. — 8 years ago

Domaine Lafage

Miraflors Rosé Blend 2014

A near perfect rosé at a great price. I prefer this soft fruit tempered by a light floral note all properly and proportionately positioned against a mineral intensive rocky bottom as swift waters twist and turn their way downstream leaving one's palate clean and refreshed but laced with the memory of the moment😎🌀 - buy the magnum at my favorite local Morehead City, NC hang - Promise Land Market (thx sweet Janeen and Daniel for spinning some crazy sweet tunage!)! Find this place in all its realness, and drink this wine! — 10 years ago

Ramey Wine Cellars

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

A luscious promise in a bottle, rich, boldly aromatic and loaded for bear with cocoa powder and oaky tannins. It tasted like the early morning earth smelled on my last bike ride through Yountville flats. So primary, like just bottled. May be as good as the Pedregal of '08 but we won't know for 5+ years. — 8 years ago

Honestly, that was part of my motivation in becoming a winemaker: it's not a cure for cancer, but in a small way, if people enjoy wine with meals, it makes the world a better place.

Domaine de la Janasse

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2006

Insane nose, smelled of underripe fruits (not in an unpleasant way) and rhubarb and strawberry.. Good amounts of color. Had lots of life left (tons of acidity and fruit) and was probably opened five years early. Thought this wine had the most forward looking promise of them all tonight. — 9 years ago

Together with 2010, this infant shows great promise for the future, thanks to its sincere structure and polished fruit flavors. Usually, not my favourite producer but here they hit the jackpot. — 10 years ago
