Stop. Proceed to cashier. Buy. Drink. Now your Favorite wine of all time. Deep and rich notes of Caramel and nuts. Not too sweet but packs a hearty punch. If your a whimp and like thin wines with little flavor profile and body. Stay away. Only the crazy taste buds should proceed — 9 years ago

My favorite California Chardonnay. It is, essentially, an American Chablis. Have always loved this wine, and I always will. I just appreciate what they do so much: the Americans going toe to toe with my favorite white burgundies. Not inexpensive, but I will never stop buying it given its absence of oak, it's structure, it's discipline, and it's American pedigree. It brings out the Jingo in me! Love it! — 11 years ago

Another fabulous pick from dear friend and personal collection curator- C. Lawrence- this is such an interesting barb- not just big, but layered - & so swishable- could not stop smelling it for long !!! but when I did it was complex cola floral - stone fruits and such a captivating finish! was lovely with rangoons, heavy cheeses and blackberries, believe it or not! — 11 years ago

😳I'm absolutely shocked at how good this is. Reminds of me of his Renaissance blend minus all tannin and mineral completely, only the most tantalizing and fun parts separated for this cuvee. Holy god I hope you get to have some of this at some point. This is really sets the bar for wines around $30. I'll stop there. — 11 years ago

Part of what makes great wine a wonderful thing to be addicted to is being able to share it with my best and truest friends. So..
a more Bordeaux style Cali Cab that's very in the great mid range style with the secondary tar and tobacco notes and lack of fruit forward that make a guy wanna say HOT DAWG and stop being pretentious about anything that doesn't make life great. Figger it it Y'all. — 10 years ago

Could have been better given the vintage but still a well made wine with plenty of gas in the tank. I always find Margaux sweeter than must left banks and thus chateau is no exception. — 10 years ago

This is the best Sauternes I've tasted. Complex, self-assured, and detailed nose of saffron (botrytis), orange peel, marzipan, candied grapefruit (thiols), slight yeasty baguette (lees), and ever-so-slight balsamic vinegar tingle (VA) that brightens the aromas. Dense but simultaneously light on its feet due to intense acidity. Slight tannic grip and a hint of creme brûlée bitterness (possibly from oak). The finish does not stop. — 11 years ago

I drink mostly grower fizz but I'll take this anytime. Pale color with apple nose. Not much yeast or toast. Flavor of apple, butter and some other white fruit. Very appealing! Provokes thoughtful discussion if you can get Judy and Rhonda to stop slurping it long enough. — 12 years ago
