Good material, but extremely reduced. High(rising) pressure today may have influenced. Purportedly better on day 2 after a vigorous shake of the bottle. — 8 years ago
Creamy. Yeast rising. Elegant. — 9 years ago
Med gold in the glass. Viscous and heavy. Rich stone fruits in the nose. Tell tale mint that says Ramonet. In the mouth the fruit is powerful. Let it under your tongue and your face goes flush. Lemon, honeysuckle, crushed stone, mint in the mouth. Great finish. This is in a great window. — 9 years ago
A gorgeous bouquet of violets came rising immediately on the first pour, bursting into my nose showing only a hint of barbecue sauce and what's to come. 30 minutes later bacon was grilling in the glass and smoke was rising in billowing clouds of invisible aroma. Fuck ya. Always over delivers, this one. Cote rotie throw aways? Yes please and thanks! — 9 years ago
The evolution of this fresh and zesty, yet full bodied Soave over an hour was like reading a riveting tale full of twists! Starting with green apples, pears, grapefruit rind and what seemed like toast evolved into sour apples, orange marmalade, biscuit and even a touch of caramel. Smooth texture and nice balance of acid to voluptuous body. — 9 years ago
Bold, rich dry lots of flavor. — 11 years ago
Lovely nougat nose, nutty with plenty of new wood influence. Should be great in 3 years. — 6 years ago
Oh yeah, Raveneau! Heading out soon on a wineless trip (though I might whine), so I opened this on a whim and it stuns. Essence of Chardonnay with incredible minerality, acidity, intensity, focus--citrus zest magnified. Screaming for oysters, the wine has to be happy with just us drinking it. Great wine rising above its premier cru status. — 7 years ago
Mercurey rising. This wine is really showing well now. Candied cherry, tart currant, leather, crushed aspirin, black, and sandalwood. #devillaine — 8 years ago
Great Thanksgiving Wine. Pairs well with Turkey and all the fixings. — 9 years ago
Really nice with some pine. — 9 years ago
Nice and balanced wine with medium high alcohol 13% abv. Herbaceous notes with lime skin notes, grassy character and some buttery, oaky aromas going stronger with temperature rising. 50% fermentation in barriques. Quite complex and interesting wine, not your average Sancerre. — 9 years ago
Squatters best beer hands down. Good strong, hoppy, bitter IPA. — 9 years ago
This is my second favorite IPA. Just behind my favorite heddy topper. — 9 years ago
Delicious. Lovely winter day in the kitchen...rising bread dough, preserved lemon, rice pudding with white raisins. — 10 years ago

A vibrant, fruity, easy drinking light red. Got high acidity and red fruits (raspberry) note. Love the slight bubbly feeling this wine brings to both sides of the tongue. — 8 years ago
A classic from Napa, this 1999 Martha's Vineyard is definitely past its prime, but still a pleasure to drink. The tannins have largely disappeared (but made for a great match with a fantastic cut of filet mignon from the local butcher). Most of the primary aromas are gone, but some great secondary notes of leather and spice remain (the absence of the tell-tale eucalyptus from Martha's was a bit surprising). Color density is still pretty impressive after almost 17 years! Finishes a bit thin, but this wine has held up beautifully. Had an amazing tasting with David Heitz back in 2005 and this brings back all those memories. Cheers to one of the pioneering wine families of Napa Valley! — 8 years ago
From an A+ vineyard, on the St. Aubin side of the Montrachet hill. Next to the Chevalier Montrachet parcel, but with a different exposure (south-west instead of south-east). Energetic Burgundy from a rising star domaine (especially since son Olivier took over in 1995). — 9 years ago
White Hermitage from one of the rising stars of the Northern Rhone Valley. A great expression of the Marsanne grape. Stonefruit, honey, white flowers with a full and almost lanolin texture on the palatte. A subtly sweet nut butter finish. Only a few dozen cases exported to the US. — 9 years ago
Rare that I like this - not too sweet — 10 years ago
Made in Japan, sold in St. Croix. — 11 years ago
