Sine Qua Non

Dangerous Birds Grenache 2007

The 2007 Grenache edges the Syrah by just a hair in my opinion. Good problem to have though deciding between the two. Bottle 6/9 of the evening. (Did I mention Ralph likes to share the SQN?) — 8 years ago

Ca' Bertoldi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend

OMG... and not because of the wannabe "Real Housewives of New Jersey" this evening in Runway 84 in Ft. Lauderdale... Ralph and Las Olas crew hosting, with famed Bahamian Lobster thief Ryan G... Such immediate fruit, black cherry, black currant, candy... 16.5 on the alcohol, you would never know it... Loving this Italian and not the "Big Ang" look-a-like to my right.... — 11 years ago

Second bottle just as good... 15% on the alcohol... Thought my Las Olas guy saying 16.5% was too high... Buying a case tomorrow...

Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1985

Two greats of Bordeaux, Cantemerle and big Ralph Sands. This wine still has plenty of sweet fruit at 29, and a generous bouquet on the level of Margaux proper! — 11 years ago

Massive Bordeaux for a petite price, that took quite a while to open up in the decanter. The purple bubbles should have been a clue. Extracted, rich and powerful, it was rich on rich with the short ribs and quite showy.

Thursday night and back at Runway 84 in Ft. Lauderdale... This wine is a good find. The only thing better than this wine and besides Shelly's dramatic weight loss is his shirt/tie pairings...

Massive fruit, huge tannin structure even with 2 hours being open. Brought by Ralph. A great alternative to all the Cali wines brought by all. Plum and dark fruits, chewy tannins. But owe boy what a experience. CB 98 all the way. Needs another 5-7 years in age to really mature. — 9 years ago
