SLH Santa Lucia Highlands Estate Grown Pinot Noir 2016

This I was equally excited to stumble across. It’s surprisingly hard to find. I got lucky with the 2014 but never found the 2015. Unlike The Calling, this was amazing. Generous cherry fruit and earl grey tea flavors, with a long, lovely herbaceous finish. One of the best, if not the best, sub-$20 Pinots I’ve had. Stock up. — 6 years ago

T Bar T Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2011

We blinded this at work last week and had some fun bc it wasn't like my typical stuff. With some time in Oak and some Vio blended it's not like 90% of SB you stumble on. I don't love it, this btl was a gift and I won't ever rebuy it but it was fun to go outside my bubble and it is a solid, pleasant tasting, good wine. — 9 years ago

La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2011

This wine is erotic. Big, juicy, sexy and expansive. Yet despite her strength and power, she can walk a tightrope in a pair of 4 inch heels without a hint of a stumble. Still a kitten though.....many years for her to grow up into a more mature feline. — 9 years ago

Goru Verde (Organic) Monastrell

As I browse for a different red, I stumble or ramble across a bottle that surely did not disappoint. The taste was super wet on the tongue, semi-sweet, semi-dry. Like a regular wine should taste like. Now I am only 1/2 glass from killing the Bottle that I know it was very good wine. Bravo to the winemaker. I give this 8.5/10 stars. — 6 years ago

I only “stumbled” upon Roagna once and it was a magnum of Opera Prima totally out of my price range at the time. Wish I could have more opportunities (and €) to try their wines.

Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

OK Delectable family: what do you call that moment after dessert and cheese when you stumble down to the cellar and ponder, "how do I go to the next level" when nobody can even level the table? We need a name for it, as that's where I was when Dan took my hand off the Henschkes in a "please put the weapon down slowly" mumble. Thankfully he aimed it at this pleasant, potent, young jammy 407 Cab that, as I can best recall, did a damned good job evoking a young Napa Cab. I think I said Round Pond? Ignore the score it's a hazy guess, but thanks Dan - we need a term for cellar friends like that, too! — 9 years ago

Carneros Pinot Noir 2013

A dark, brooding fruit nose of black cherry and pomegranate meets you, then hints of earth and spice stumble out. Killer structure allows for tart cherries and cranberries to shine. "California Pinot with Oregon elegance," is the only way I can describe it. Drinks much higher than the SRP ($27). — 9 years ago

Giovanni Accomasso & Figlio

Vigneto Rocchette Barolo Nebbiolo 1996

Accomasso. Years ago most didn't know him or not care about his wines. Now his Baroli are among the rarest worldwide. Good or bad? What an honor it was to taste this uber classic beautiful 1996 "Rocchette" (official single vineyard in "Rocche dell'Annunziata, la morra) from this outstanding vintage recently. Dark berries, cranberries, smoke, road tar & torched earth. Still a firm tannic structure, I loved a lot among the flavors of first maturity. A very straight, austere and honest Barolo that shows the traditional character of what Nebbiolo can be. Hope to stumble upon another 1996 again someday... — 7 years ago

I served this last night and unanimously all my guests commented on how much they liked this wine. Smoother and fruitier than the 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon I had enjoyed previously. Will definitely by The Banished again.

It's a small world when you stumble upon a winery owned and ran by a couple who live 5 minutes from you back in Adelaide.
