#Roumier red #Burgundies are now considered to be amongst the very top echelon of #Pinots from anywhere on earth. His #Musigny is virtually unaffordable along with the top DRCs, but the queen at his court is this Bonnes-Mares, and a very worthy royalty it is. Drinks now but will continue to improve for another decade...if you can find it. #2002 — 11 years ago

Refreshing and alive with acidity and fruit. Touch of (injected) spritz 9 RS to put handcuffs on an acid queen In a good way — 11 years ago

Continuing with my exploration of rosé wines, is this charming not so pink from Château de Trinquevedel, a cranberry-hued blend of 56% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 10% Clairette, 4% Syrah, 4% Bourboulenc, 3% Mourvedre and 3% Brenache blanc. Enchanting aromas of linen and dried cherries lead into a wine that displays tons of rhubarb and spice, followed by Queen Anne’s Cherries, blood oranges, and watermelon rind with subtle earthiness and smoke on the finish. Always a favorite from Kermit Lynch. 13.5% ABV — 11 years ago

Fidèle Extra Brut Champagne offers up gorgeous leesy-yeasty notes: pastry dough, toasted almonds and hazelnuts, poached pear and spiced applesauce simmering away on the stove. Golden-hued, it reminds me of Autumn, with cozy apple galette and pear tart notes, brioche and custard are well-incorporated into this Champagne's soft texture and medium acidity. Finishes with a sort of dried fall leaves and red berries, or even a Queen Anne's cherries sort of thing. I approve! Disgorged 02.10.12 — 11 years ago

This is such a solid beer. Runs the gamut of the taste experience and has on hell of a right hook. The Queen of summer bbq beers. See what I did there? — 11 years ago

Waving goodbye to this Napa queen. On the way out but is it?? Unique, treasure! Nose of mahogany, baked red fruit, menthol, anise, sweetbreads, muted cassis. Balanced, subtle sweetness, soft, integrated tannins. Near perfect palette. Citric gripping finish of medium to long length. Really, really cool vintage Napa. An honor to have this 29. With every sip the rating goes up. — 11 years ago

Devine. I know when I was a Queen in my past life I had it on my table. Expensive, but so worth it. — 12 years ago
