1998 Antinori Solaia Super Tuscan. Lunch at RW. Drank alongside the '08 Rhoda I Tempranillo. Very different. This wine was excellent with pizza and drinking alone. Beautiful, softly layered wine. — 7 years ago
Magnum 1996 Araujo Eisele Estate. Welcome dinner for D fam at RW. Insane!!! We loved, loved, loved this wine. It was absolutely perfect and even better than K thought it could be. Just so soft, feminine, elegant- nothing overt about the wine. Long, long finish. Epic. Need more! — 8 years ago

3L Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rhone. Bday lunch at RW. Perfect. Not too sweet, balanced sweetness which grew with time in the decanter. Beautiful expression of earthiness we associate w Rhone wines. Super special. Everyone was floored at how good this wine was drinking. — 8 years ago
Magnum 1999 Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia Masseto Merlot. Lunch at RW w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Drank after the '78 Heitz Martha's out of magnum. This wine was much, much bigger, as we expected and drank beautifully. Hard to say which we enjoyed more. Awesome. — 8 years ago

2008 Roda I Tempranillo. Lunch at RW. Drank alongside the '89 Solaia. This wine was excellent. Decanted before serving- abt 30 min before pouring. It's def a big wine, but not too tannic or acidic. Fruity, chewy and threat w rich foods- chicken liver toast, wings, red sauce pizza. Excellent. — 7 years ago
Magnum 1999 Harlan Estate. Welcome dinner for D fam at RW. Drank this after the '96 Araujo Eisele out of magnum. Unfortunately, this bottle was not stored properly and just didn't drink great. Unanimous that Araujo hit it out of the park and that this wine was not what it should have been. It was hot, lacked dimension, and the finish was abrupt and harsh. It should have been great, as we have been enjoying other '99s at this time, but not this bottle. — 8 years ago

Delicious pairing with filet mignon with blueberry balsamic sauce and garlic mashed potatoes. Bold flavors, nice balanced tannins. Mild acidity with a pleasant finish. And the color! So rich and gem-like. — 3 years ago
