Domaine Brusset

Les Hauts de Montmirail Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2012

Very enjoyable. We decided to step up a notch and were handsomely rewarded. Great complexity and drinkability. We will definitely have this wine again. — 10 years ago

Domaine Caillot

"Les Herbeux" Bourgogne Chardonnay 2011

top notch bourgogne blanc from a vineyard that, if not for some technicality, may have been Meursault. scintillating play between incisive, citrusy acidity and subtly toasted hazelnut. lots of lime fruit on the palate. #bourgogneblanc #burgundy #meursault — 11 years ago

Merry Edwards

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Sandhi Wines

Bent Rock Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2014

THE. BEST. DOMESTIC. CHARD!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes. I'm blown away. This is the best domestic chard I've ever drank. This particular vintage is killer. I could poor this in a lineup of top notch Meursault and none would be the wiser, that's how good this is. Intense smoke/funk brought on by minerality that most domestic producers could only dream of. A legendary wine in my book. @June's All Day, Austin TX — 9 years ago

Nine Hats Columbia Valley Syrah 2013

This is a solid Syrah that reaches above its price point by a notch. Big fruit and leather on the nose, juicy blackberries and bacon fat notes on the pallet. Lingers well, and great grip on the tongue. Yum! — 10 years ago
