We pulled out one of our older Bordeaux for steak night last weekend, and after a double decant (so wouldn't throw sediment) it opened up beautifully. Classic Medoc profile, fresh yet rustic fruit and the tannins were very well-integrated. — 9 years ago
Had this Aligoté from Bouzeron couple of months ago and was impressed. Revisited last night, same result, fucking love this, and why wouldn't it be awesome with neighboring villages of Puligny and Chassagne-Montrachet. I'll throw $28 at this all day. — 9 years ago

With a fresh, herbal nose, and flavors of lemon grass and dill, this GrüV has a touch of starfruit and grapefruit, with a pinch of pepper. It was waxy on the lips, which cut through the bite that can make some Grüners sharp around the edges. The mouthfeel was quilted down, light and bright like fresh laundry hung dry on the line. I would want to drink this during a simple lunch of bagels and lox, with a slather of cream cheese, onions and a couple capers. Throw in a picnic blanket, and color me content #GrüV #Arnold #HastaLaVistaBaby — 10 years ago
Enjoyed at Stones Throw in San Francisco. Great floral nose, smooth creamy mouthfeel. Great wine! — 12 years ago
Intense black cherry, pepper, basil, and honey notes balanced out by a complex dryness that pulls away any hint of cloying without excess astringency. I will be looking out for this one! — 9 years ago
We can throw around the idea of a classical wine or producer, but there are precious few that are true classics. This is one. If lightly peppered red berries were made of liquid silk, that would be almost as smooth as the palate of this. Aromatically, this is a fresh summer bouquet of florals & herbs. Just a stunner & showstopper. Will go a bit longer, but in an excellent place to enjoy right now. @Matthew Bigby you are a gentleman & a scholar for sharing this. — 9 years ago
Less bubbly that your average sparkler, this brut is heavier on the Chardonnay than the Pinot Noir, but there must be a spash of it in the mix, as this bubbly stood up bravely to every sort of dish a Korean restaurant could throw at us, from steak tartare to spicy chicken to all those wonderfully varied appetizers. — 9 years ago
Delicious. Just a "throw away" — 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! — 10 years ago
Excellent DIPA, big tropical and citrus malts, for a double, it drinks so smooth, cannot taste the ABV at all, taste profile is similar to Stone's " Enjoy By" but not as big fresh hopped, but close, when fresh, This is Beer Republic's Crown Jewel IPA, so if you are like me and love their other beers, Racer 5, Racer X, you will love this — 10 years ago
When you eventually see that I have uploaded all these wines we shared, you will most likely delete me from following you. I want you to know that these memories mean something significant to me, and that I will not throw them away. You mean something significant to me, I cannot just delete the love I have in my heart for you. — 10 years ago
Aroma of green apple and lemon. Lemon notes on palette and some warm crisp acidity. Very nice Riesling. — 12 years ago
Very strong at 13%, but you can't tell from the taste. Dark and smooth with maybe a chocolate type finish.... ? :-) — 9 years ago
Mango. Sea salt. A pinch of cayenne. Paired this with spot prawn sushi, sea beans, and ice plant. Throw this wine at any seafood dish. Gorgeous! — 9 years ago

Been sitting on this wine for awhile. Given the vintage, was nervous about its longevity. Given the producer, was nervous about opening too soon. Finally just decided to throw caution to the wind and enjoy a beautifully made wine from a champion of wine who is no longer with us. Hibiscus, ripe cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg, wonder — 9 years ago
A great pleasure to drink this at Rebelle with Mr Schoener a stone's throw away at the bar. Excellent, tropical fruit nose with great acidity, length, and food versatility. — 10 years ago
As promised this is a good "everyday" wine that goes well with pasta and pizza. — 11 years ago
