I totally strange and lovely coincidence that I had this wine almost a year ago to the day! And stand by my original description.I took my own advice and paired it with filet mignon. Very very good! — 10 years ago

SYZYGY

Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2008

I swear it was a total coincidence that I pulled this from the cellar today (look closely at the label). On the day the earth, moon, and sun are aligned this 3 Walla Walla vineyards Syrah is really hitting the spot. Dark fruit, violets, and game. Really good. — 10 years ago

Château Brane-Cantenac

Grand Cru Classé en 1855 Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1970

High shoulder fill, extra long cork completely soaked. By some happy coincidence this is the 4th time we have had this in the last 5-6 years. 3 times (including this) very very good and once just good. At this point the secondary leather and cedar aromas and flavors dominate the remaining fruit. Still a fun drink and a good match for roast chicken. Another Winebid bargain! — 11 years ago

Bodega Familia Schroeder

Saurus Patagonia Pinot Noir 2014

I chose this Patagonian red while walking home, only to realize that I was up to episode 3 of Chef's Table with Patagonian based chef, Francis Mallman. A beautiful coincidence and a delicious drop indeed. Smokey, cherry and blueberry flavors with a touch of lavender on the end.

Fun facts:
The Saurus wines take their name from a very unusual, but important discovery. When the Familia Schroeder winery was being constructed on the vast plains of Patagonia, the fossilized remains of a Titanosaur were unearthed. This dinosaur roamed the area millions of years ago and was one of the biggest species ever known. In honor of this amazing discovery, the family built a special cellar in which to display the bones to the winery's visitors. They were also inspired to create the Saurus line of wines.

Sounds like a good wine and also a good story. Would like to go down there one day.

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

FRV 100 Mousseux Gamay Rosé

It's not a coincidence that each year it seems like the most interesting wine I taste is from Beaujolais. This fruit forward sparkling sipper is perfect for summer heat and salty foods. #beaujolais #gamay #jeanpaulbrun #realwine — 10 years ago

It was even better because it was at Weezie's Snow Shack. Great atmosphere.

Goût de Miel Black Label White Blend

Pale Gold Colour. Predominately creamy nut, honey, hints of green apple and citrus aroma. Slightly off-dry on the palate with flavours of honey, candied citrus, green tea. Balanced medium acidity and medium bodied delight with citrusy long finish. Drink now. By sheer coincidence, I had the pleasure of meeting the winemaker, Nikki, as he told me about the story behind this unlikely blend. He signed the bottle for me — 11 years ago
