1998 Domaine G. Roumier Bonnes Mares Burgundy. Lunch w J&H R and Leon at The I.I. K took a chance on this wine- not a terribly notable year- and it was out of this world. HR particularly loved this. Bottle had been standing for 2 weeks, which K thinks contributed to making a huge difference in our enjoyment. Color was completely clear- no murkiness. We had a hard time pinning down the nose on this wine. No hard edges- super subtle in texture, taste, and nose. K makes note how surprised he was that this wine is drinking so epically right now. — 10 years ago

1998 La Spinetta Gallina Barbera d'Alba. ELO at HB w J&H R and Leon. We were surprised by how much we liked it. Note to get more of this wine! Really well balanced- some fruit, leather, soil, and smoke. Not a super notable finish, but greatly enjoyed this. — 10 years ago

Magnum 1997 Dal Forno Romano Amarone dell Valpolicella. Drank at Reddwood lunch w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H. Third of the red lineup. Neither K nor I had tasted this before and it was delicious. Enormous and inky. It was just massive both in flavor and how it coated the mouth. Slight sweetness. Very cool to try! — 10 years ago

Magnum 2004 Bond Pluribus. Brought by Joe for Archetype lunch w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H. Third of the red lineup. Big, big wine, but gorgeous. Tons of tannins and dark fruit. — 10 years ago

2004 Colgin IX Syrah. Lunch w J&H R and Leon at The I. This followed the '98 Roumier Bonnes-Mares burgundy. Totally different. Huge- we got heavy savory notes: olives, pepper, olive oil. Loved it! — 10 years ago

2000 Gaja Sorì Tilden Langhe Nebbiolo. ELO at HB w J&H R and Leon. Thought it drank great- not as big as the '01 Sassicaia, which it followed, but really enjoyable to drink on its own, without food. — 10 years ago

1999 Domaine Dujac Clos de LA Roche. ELO at HB w J&H R and Leon. Very mellow and delicate- nothing overt- from the get-go. Gained some really interesting savory, meaty notes as it sat in the glass. Thought it drank really well. — 10 years ago

Magnum 2007 Domaine Leflaive Batard-Montrachet Chardonnay. First white wine for dinner at the house w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H and BP. We love this white and it was a treat to try out of magnum. — 10 years ago

Magnum 1990 Bruno Giacosa Falletto Di Serralunga d'Alba Riserva Barolo. Drank at Reddwood lunch w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H. Second of the red lineup. This followed the magnum '98 Solaia. We all thought this wine tasted a lot older than its age. Perhaps stored a bit improperly at some point? It didn't drink poorly, but everyone at the table would have guessed it much older than a 1990- sweeter and shorter finish than anticipated. — 10 years ago

Magnum 1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia. Drank at Archetype lunch w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H. Second of the red lineup, following a magnum of 1975 Heitz. Much bigger and its youth showed. Lovely wine that we all really enjoyed. — 10 years ago

Holy shit this is good!! A&J vineyard
@Carl Fischer @Ron R @David A Lentine I must have opened a bad bottle in New York. If you guys remember, we tasted it and literally threw it away. Decanted this for two hours and it is absolutely blowing up! Firing on all cylinders. Full-bodied, flowers spice and everything that's nice! LOL. For the life of me, I feel as if I almost get a little forest floor out of it. Truly amazing wine.!! 😍🍷🍷😍.
Carl, you and I distinctively hated this when we uncorked it in New York. You would not even recognize this bottle! It's amazing! Have a great Thanksgiving my friends! — 10 years ago

Magnum 1998 Cheval Blanc. Third red for dinner at the house w B&K K, J&L B, and M&R H and BP. Awesome! So much fun to try this Bordeaux after the 2002 Domaine des Lambrays burgundy. This wine felt young, even though older than the Lambrays. A bit tight at first, despite decanting a few hours. Fun contrast of round vegetal and green noted, stronger tannins. Such a treat. Probably the fave of the night. — 10 years ago

R(Chris Ringland),B(Rolf Blinder), J(Russel Johnstone) 이렇게 3명이 회사를 만들었고
Chris Ringland 가 WineMaker를 했네요
첫잔을 따르니 세월이 작 녹아 들어가 있는 체리빛 색상으로 불곤스러운 자태를 보여주네요
아로마는 약간의 동물적인 가죽냄새를 시작으로, 시나몬, 레드베리의 느낌이 잘 느껴집니다.
밸런스도 잘잡혀 있구요. 무베드르의 특징을 아주 잘 뽑아준 와인입니다. — 11 years ago
