Best wine so far this year. Unfortunately it's not Spanish :( nor Californian, but it is epic. Jancis Robinson said it's only good until 2010. It's totally alive and kicking. New world meets old world. Fing Auzzies have done it again. — 9 years ago

Simply delicious, balanced, lively red fruits, soft finish. Not a complicated wine but high on the delicious factor — 10 years ago

Having read Clive Coates and Jancis Robinson comments on Clos de Vouget my expectations had been adjusted a light Pinot which opened up with good fruit raspberry and strawberry with mint notes a good Otago NZ could equal this, went well with baked Salmon — 10 years ago

Wonderful recommendation from Jancis Robinson we had it with bolognese. It disappeared very quickly... — 11 years ago

Tasted at the Janis Robinson event. Nice with a Little spice, not a huge finish but very solid overall. Very surprising. Maybe the best VA wine I've had. Janis also highly recommended. — 11 years ago

Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.
Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He's a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb. — 10 years ago
