Sinful Grin

Rustenberg

John X Merriman Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Cab-quest goes on! And this is so good it made this goth heart grin. Although realized this is 52% Merlot whoops. And after that Cab S plus small shares of Malbec, Cab f and petit Verdot (which I personally wanna see more single varietal iterations of). All things aside DAMN it gets the super specific term “yummy”. Red and black cassis, bits of blackberry, allspice and licorice and chocolate goodness! Silky as sin—deceptively easy to drink quickly so beware/enjoy...I’m enjoying but then I’m home alone. Has a lovely refreshing earthy note that keeps on keeping on... — 6 years ago

My husband and I visited this vineyard at the recommendation of our driver Mike Johnson from Napa Red Wine Cab. We had our tasting done grin Henri the vineyard owner. The cave is a wonder, of how they store the wine bottles in the wall caves instead of a box. — 8 years ago

@Shawn G. Rose It was 93 degrees in Chicago yesterday with what seemed 125% humidity, so definitely a good time for sparkling rose.

Charlie said to pull anything out of his closet because he wasn't sure what was good. I said let's give this a try with a sh*t-a*s grin in my face. So this is what a fine wine tastes like. — 7 years ago

@Carl Fischer @Mike Rowe @David L @Ron R @Ron R as Mike would say, smiles, all smiles. Such opulence and fitness with globs of the layers upon layers. Everything is harmoniously In sync. The only drawback is it's youth!!!
Thank God I have 9 left and some magnums!! I know it's a baby, but I'm still drinking it with a big shit eating grin on my face.

Domaine Gros Frère et Sœur

Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Simply an awesome bottle. Bright, screaming with youthfulness, perfectly balanced with great structure and just the right amount of everything. Bernard Gros is one of my absolute favorite producers and this bottle is a solid proof why. Cellar or drink now and try not to hide the biggest grin you'll get with the first sip. — 8 years ago

This port style wine with salted dark chocolate is sinful! Great dessert or sipping wine. I recently drank the 2003 vintage I had and went back to the winery to get more of this vintage to keep for a while. — 8 years ago

Best dessert wine I’ve had. Caramely goodness. And fabulous with chocolate truffles. Super sweet but not overdone. I’ll definitely be getting more.

Domaine Alain Chavy

Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2013

As I learn about some of these better White Burgundies, the element or really more a "consistent trait" is a simple joy that flows onto the palate that's like a warm smile from the right gal at the big party. Nothing at all sinister- just that warm welcome that promises to bring a good time along with it. The nose seems right in step with the aforementioned grin, with notes of nougat, golden-hued wrapped in a subtle, near-neutral bit of barrel. As it has breathed it's shifted into a more "relaxed gear", and is spreading out, revealing more of itself. Reaching the back of the palate and leisurely 'becoming' a finish it reflects the best bits of its strengths on the mid-palate.

This is one of those 'silly grin' wines for me. No, not deep or complex, but floral and filled with tart, crunchy red fruit, and oh so easy to drink. Easy. Refreshing. — 8 years ago

Insignia is always a rare treat. The 2009 did not stray away from this statement. I am bias to Phelps Insignia, I admit it. But trust me if someone offers you a glass take it. It is a sinful delight. — 9 years ago
